The comments in the formats list confuse me.
I think you've got the masks swapped.

/* Packed RGB 15bpp, 0x1f, 0x7e0, 0xf800 */
#define FOURCC_RV15         VLC_FOURCC('R','V','1','5')

I assume the hex nrs are R G and B bitmasks.
But this means: 5 bits, 6 bits, 5 bits == 16 bit mask, not 15


/* Packed RGB 16bpp, 0x1f, 0x3e0, 0x7c00 */
#define FOURCC_RV16         VLC_FOURCC('R','V','1','6')

These masks are 5 bits, 5 bits, 5 bits == 15 bit mask, not 16
