YUY2 or RGB for vhs capture?

Im now capturing with dscaler, in YUY2 using Lagarith with YUY2 compression.
Would you recomend to do this or capture in RGB? why?
thanks!!!

YUY2.

Almost every capture device captures in YUY2 or a similar YUV 4:2:2 colorspace -- because this is closest to what is transmitted over an s-video or composite cable. If you request RGB they simply convert the YUY2 to RGB, wasting CPU cycles and disk space, and losing quality.
