[Swftools-common] Cannot convert non-YUV image to BGR24

[John Allman]

Hi - i've been trawling through the lists and i've found this to have 
come up several times, but i didn't see an explanation or a solution to 
it. Trying to convert any avi to swf with avi2swf

without -v i just get
<CImage> : Cannot convert non-YUV image to BGR24

with the -v i also get
Warning: converthing from bpp 1 to bpp 3, this fails on older avifile 
versions...

versions:

address@hidden:~$ avi2swf -V
avi2swf-ng - part of swftools 0.5.0
address@hidden:~$ avifile-config --version
0.7.38
address@hidden:~$

this is the latest version of avifile for debian unstable

this is the start of a sample swfdump on the file produced (just a few 
seconds of film):
