change it to   out BGR24 flip 
and the binary codec works fine :)

thanks for sample.

my list says sn41 and sjpg should be decodeable by the same codec
VIDC.SN40=SN4Codec.dll  -- verient dec only
VIDC.SN41=SN4Codec.dll -- verient dec only
VIDC.SJPG=SN4Codec.dll  -- verient dec only "SmartSight"

as for the sample, it looks better in the binary codec, compare:
