When playing ftp://ftp.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/samples/V-codecs/QPEG/VWbig6.avi with my decoder (should appear soon) it hadn't changed palette even there are palette change chunks in that AVI. Here is small patch to make it work (zero number of colors to change in that chunk actually means to change ALL colors). patch by (Kostya <cannonball>at<bw-team>dot<com>)
