Which data format to use YUYV, YUY2 , RGB16 or RGB32

[roh]

Hello,

I have a ATI AIW Radeon, and am using Vdub to capture at 480 x 576 resolution, from a VHS tape.

I had read some where that RGB32 (or RGB16) is better than YUYx but when I select RGB32 or RGB16 as video type, it says 'format not supported'. I am able to capture if I select YUV2 or YUVY. (or maybe even UYVY)

Could you please tell me which format should I use. Is there any place where I can read what is the meaning of all these codes.

Thanks,
Roh
