Easy way to determine if a file is 4:2:0 or 4:2:2 in Vegas?

How can you easily tell if a file is 4:2:0, 4:2:2 or 4:4:4 in Vegas if you only have a single file from the source?

Good question!

These are about the only ways I know.

MediaInfo is usually correct.
If you shoot a Belle-Nuit chart the indicators are clear.
If it's 8 bit REC 709, chances are 99% it's 4:2:0.
