RGB -> YV12 Color Correction

Hey Guys,

I am recording from fraps in RGB. I'm rendering my videos out in the yv12 color space to later be encoded as h.264 for an MKV container. I was wondering if it is possible to correct the footage so that it looks the same after the render in YV12 as it does as RGB. I appreciate the help

I can't answer your question directly but I suggest you do a "yv12" search on the pro forum for threads that may have your answer. I looked at one and it made my brain hurt. Good luck.

Use the applicable parts of the tutorial we produced for Youtube. It is widely quoted on the Fraps forums.

Thanks, dude. The little tip for changing the output start to 0 has helped a lot. I'm still losing some vibrancy on the colors, but this is a good start. I'm guessing I need to bump the saturation up just a little bit.
