I'd vote for dropping support for lower than 24 bit.
Cool.

Really, the only thing holding me back is the knowledge that sometimes people will deliberately run their desktop in 16-bit to save memory, or (on older video cards or on cheap motherboard-embedded video chips) to achieve higher resolutions than are available in the 24-bit mode.

Then again, the target market for this applet is pretty small, so I could be wasting my time by trying to code in support for something no one will ever use.


Should Tony do the work to support low-color video modes in EmpegFace?
I never run my desktop in anything but 24/32-bit color so I don't need it.
I sometimes run my desktop in lower color depths, but I don't mind switching to 24 to get the buttons to work.
I need support for 15/16-bit color depths, my system or my situation requires it.
Bite the bullet and do the work, Tony, it'll be educational.
I don't have any use for EmpegFace in the first place so I couldn't care less.
