Is YUY2 and YUV2 the same thing?

I have seen both used in the AviSynth doc.

If you saw YUV2 in the AviSynth documentation, then it's a typo :) Because there is no YUV2. Where did you see it?

YUY2 and YV12, right? Not YUV2. I have made the same typo in some of my scripts :).

You are right, there is no YUV2 in the AviSynth doc. I meant to ask if YUV and YUY2 were the same.



FYI, a Google search on displays several hits saying YUV2 is a valid colorspace format.

[Wilbert]

If they mention YUV2 they probably mean YUY2 (which are typos). YUV is just the name which stands for all YUV formats :)

@Wilbert:

I don't see YV12 listed in that link. Must have another name?

Ctrl+F -> YV12 (half way down -> planar formats)
