New description:

 Dear FFmpeg Development Team,

 I am writing to request the addition of support for decoding videos
 encoded with the RTV1 codec in FFmpeg. RTV1 seems to be a special codec
 developed by the guys behind the RivaTuner/Afterburner software for
 recording gaming sessions and/or the screen in general.

 I believe that adding support for decoding the RTV1 codec in FFmpeg would
 be a valuable feature for users like myself who have videos encoded with
 this codec and would like to convert them to other formats using the vast
 flexibility of FFMPEG, or just play them back with FFPLAY.

 The codec itself gets installed by MSI Afterburner software, and it is
 placed in
 {{{
 "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\RivaTuner Statistics Server\Codec"
 }}}


 The filenames are:

 {{{
 rtvcvfw32.dll
 rtvcvfw64.dll
 }}}

 Codec Description from MSI tooltip:
 {{{
 RTV1 compression - the video is being encoded in RivaTuner Video format
 V1. RivaTuner Video Codec installation is required to play video encoded
 in
 this format. RivaTuner Video format V1 is lossy compression format based
 on hybrid of DXT1 and RLE compression algorithms with 6x or higher
 compression ratio. RTV1 encoder is able to encode high resolution video at
 high framerate without consuming too much CPU time, so this format is
 recommended for the systems with single core or slow dual core CPUs.
 }}}
 Thank you for considering my request.
