16 bytes per pixel ?

how big is that 143-slide file?  If it's not compressed, and you meant 16 bits
rather than 16 bytes, the file should be ~75 megabyte, and you should be able
to use PIL's fromstring (or frombuffer) API to read the file.

If you really meant 16 bytes, and the file is ~600 megabyte, things might be a
bit trickier, but it might be solvable.

However, if the file is compressed, we need a spec.
