Debugmode Frameserver - RGB24 / RGB32 / YUY2?

[daamon]

Hi,

I've been without a PC for a while and so haven't been doing any frameserving etc. and have forgotten which video format to use...

I'm creating titles, using DV AVI and some JPEGs in Adobe Premiere 6.0 and using Debugmode Frameserver to serve to TMPGEnc for encoding to DVD MPEG2.

Also, please explain "why" - it's not coz I don't trust your answers, but I like to learn and understand why I'm doing what I'm doing...

When I save the signpost file, it gives me the options of "RGB24 - RGB32 - YUY2".

I've tried all and there's no real difference, but that's only after a trial run and viewing on WMP on a monitor. I know that they're different colour spaces etc. (whatever that means), but not sure what the right one to use is.

I'm thinking of getting into doing wedding videos etc. and so want to do everything properly.

Thanks.

rgb24 to send to tmpgenc, because tmpgenc uses rgb input ..

rgb32 is with added alpha channel which you dont need for mpeg encoding ..

rgb is also the native internal format of vegas - so no additional color conversions ..

if sending to cce - you would (you could) select YUV instead ...

RGB24 it is then.

Great! Cheers, and thanks for the "why" too...
