A better way would of course be to peek at the BITMAPINFOHEADER or video 
sample description of the input file to determine how many bits per 
pixel it uses, and match that in the output file, rather than trying to 
guess from the number of colors in the palette. Anyway, this is a lot of 
work, and to me it's rather superfluous, since one can always force the 
pixel format on the command line once again.
