mkv and nut come to mind as potential formats that might use the

Yes it is used for other file formats as well, but only AVI and
QuickTime explicitly have a palettized 1 bpp mode (as far as I know), so
they should use pal8 for 1 bpp, and not monow. Other formats aren't
affected.

Your patch that switches to monow when a 1 bpp AVI doesn't contain a
palette is rather kludgy and redundant to me. And users will undoubtly
be more surprised when they discover that monow is used for the special
case of 1 bpp AVI without a palette, rather than using pal8 consistently
for all 1 bpp AVI files, just like 2 and 4 bpp.
I don't understand what's so important about retaining monow inside
FFmpeg when it comes to AVI, when it's obviously OK to convert 2 and 4
bpp to pal8. Once again, if you want a straight passthrough of 1 bpp AVI
video data, just use "-c:v copy".
