Hi,
if you don't care about real color depth of the AVI file the easiest way how to change color depth information is to rewrite specific byte in the header of the AVI file. Use some hex editor (i.e. HexEdit) and try to find color depth flag value and change it -> be aware of hex/dec (24b dec = 18 hex, 16b dec = 10 hex). I suppose that position of color depth flag depends on used codec. I found the flag on BA position at DivX 5.2.1 AVI file header.
This guide is very useful when you want to join two AVI files with different color depth.
