Will do.

Mostly because separating them seemed an order more complex to me, and I
couldn't see much use for stand-alone encoders/decoders for this format.

The 8-bit decoder is more or less copied from ffmpeg, but
a) the ffmpeg decoder crashes for me (haven't investigated much, though)
b) the ffmpeg decoder does not support 16-bit movies, or chaining (basically
   several movies in one file)
c) ffmpeg does not have an encoder. That was written from scratch.
