I had noticed that if I use the BMD deck control utility it uses the 2yuv QT codec but using Vegas it captures to the Sony YUV codec. Didn't give it much thought until I was ferreting around another forum and found that much the same used to go on with FCP.
Except BMD are no longer supporting their 2yuv codec due to 'technical difficulties' with FCP. At least one FCP user is saying that the BMD codec was noticably superior to the Apple one.
All this leads me to ask, is the 2yuv codec from BMD any different to the Sony YUV, maybe it's just a different wrapper or is one actually better than the other, is there any noticable difference?
And another stupid question, why can't we choose the codec within the Vegas capture utility?
Bob.
