(VLC 2.1.0) bmp output for scene filter does not work (jpeg works)

scene filter output to jpeg works but bmp files written are unreadable. Tested on 2.1.0 as well as vlc-2.1.1-20131016-0203 nightly on Windows 8.

Was working in VLC 2.0.8

BMP was never officially supported, to be honest.

added Component::Stream output: Encoders label and removed Component::Video: filters label

changed milestone to %2.2.0

Works in 2.1.2 Although not officially supported, we have found BMP output (writing to same file) very helpful in our application. JPEG quality is too low and PNG is intensive on CPU compared to BMP.

changed milestone to %2.2.x maintenance branch

It works for me on Linux 2.2.0 (FFmpeg), fails for me on Linux 2.1.3 (older FFmpeg) and fails for me on Windows nightly builds (libav, probably).

Broken with latest ffmpeg git, works with latest libav git (both tested on Fedora).

avcodec encoder: get bytes per pixel from context if needed

Falling back to 3 bytes broke the buffer allocation for BMP with ffmpeg, which
defaults to RGBA.
