Description
Recently played through the original 1994 Windows version of Myst. I found two videos which would play the audio, but no video. When this would happen the log would be spammed with:
WARNING: Cannot convert high color video frame to 8bpp!
The two videos in question (unmodified from my CD copy):
5757fe67077ae3d418737eb4472f8048 qtw/selen/forwe0.mov 2b29368fda60e11cec13e93ee9aac17b qtw/channel/monsmsg.mov

Have added patch for the cinepak decoder from IRC by antoniou79 which resolves this problem, though unclear if this is the "right" solution?

I've opened a PR with the above suggested fix so that it can be properly tested/reviewed:

After sluicebox noted that this bug could be due to a regression caused in November 2021 to quicktime decoder, and that his own today PR addresses the issue, I can confirm that his approach is the correct one, since it works flawlessly (my suggestion results in some black artifacts at the start of the video).
For reference sluicebox's PR is here:

Sorry for breaking Myst!
Replicated with my version of Myst MPC on Linux x86_64 with latest dev master. The MD5sums of the two videos match my version.
