Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. Furthermore, if I should utilize method (2) by using, for example, VirtualDub's "convert format" filter, should I choose limited or full range? Obviously, my untrained eye does not know which output (in theory) has the more "correct" colors for YV12.

I have tried methods (1) and (2) and found that they produce slightly different colors. I also understand that there will always be a loss of color detail when converting RGB to YV12 and am not asking how to preserve that lost detail.ġ) Continue piping raw RGB24 frames to x264, letting the encoder treat them as YV12 Ģ) Use a filter to convert the frames to YV12 before piping them ģ) Capture using YUV420 (YV12) BT.709 instead of RGB24 Code: -input-res %(width)x%(height) -fps %(fpsnum)/%(fpsden) -profile high -preset medium -keyint 15 -bframes 2 -b-adapt 2 -b-pyramid none -crf 15 -colorprim bt709 -transfer bt709 -colormatrix bt709 -threads 4 -output "%(tempvideofile)" - I know that x264 expects YV12 input and produces YV12 output.
