Eidos RPL video codec

Hello,

Has anyone any information on the video codec in Eidos's RPL files?

The file format itself is pretty simple, infos at the start and an index at
the end (both in readable text, the three numbers of the index are offset
into the file, size of the video data, size of the audio data for every
frame). Sound format 1 is PCM, 101 ADPCM.

The only thing I have no idea about is the video codec, and I wouldn't know
where to start reverse engineering it... So I'd be grateful if anyone could
help me to decode the video codec. (There's a sample file at
http://mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/samples/game-formats/rpl/landing.rpl .)

Resolution and colour depth can be found in the file header; I think video
data is always 16 bit RGB, and the CPU requirements for decoding are about a
P90. A windows player can be downloaded from
http://www.cubeit.com/ctimes/download/rpl_player.zip (runs with wine). I
have attached three files from the Warzone 2100 source, recently released
under the GPL, that deal with video sequences.

I hope this info is useful, and motivates someone to take a look at the
file.

Thanks in advance & bye,
Christian Ohm

PS: Sent again, as the source files were too big for the list.
