[XviD-devel] VFW mistake

[Dark_Sylinc]

Hello,
in file ./vfw/src/codec.c,  in the function decompress_get_format() (line ~895), it sets the image size to the output header by calculating width*height*bpp
THIS IS WRONG. That size is in bits, but the standard bitmap header requests the size in bytes. Since 8 bits = 1 byte. we should calcute width*height*(bpp/8)
This mistake may crash some programs who use VFW and do not calculate an uncompressed image size, relying on what the VFW says.
