If ffmpeg doesn't handle these we have tools in VIAME/KWIVER which can convert them to more standard formats, and in the case of 16-bit stretch the range to 8-bit while doing dynamic contrast enhancement

@BryonLewis what's our situation regarding video or image formats? I know we have issues in flight about TIFF files, but do you see a general path forward for ingesting other formats that ffmpeg or other tools are able to handle?

ffmpeg I don't think is going to be able to transfer these into a usable format. We may have to use VIAME/KWIVER, but the bigger question at that point is if we should support these formats for use with something like a tileserver. Doing a conversion into a single large image isn't going to give the best user experience with our tool.
