  • BMDs 2yuv codec Vs Sony’s YUV

    Vegas user here. I noticed that the BMD capture utility captures to 2yuv MOV whereas Vegas’s own capture uses Sony YUV codec. Is there any difference or are these the same with different wrappers?

    These are separate codecs, Sony YUV was written “in-house” specifically for Vegas and works both for SD and HD i/o.

    In Vegas, the BMD codec can be used as a source file, but you’d need to convert to the Sony codec before printing to tape within Vegas.
