MagicYUV - a new fast lossless video codec

EncodedMango · 19th June 2014, 06:38

The biggest downside I'm finding is support for the codec for example ffmpeg doesn't recognise it. So since usually I record RGB I just convert it to Lagarith and then go about encoding to my needs, I wanted to try YUV 4:4:4 but I can't since ffmpeg won't recognise MAGY and Lagarith doesn't have YV24 but otherwise it's a pretty fast codec.

Are you planning to ever release the source, Ignus2?
If not I guess I'll have to find another lossless codec that can convert MAGY's YUV 4:4:4 to usable YV24.
