It's not a very good choice for end users, because it doesn't really compress video that much, and it stores pixel data in a manner that's not particularly convenient for playback.
That said, you might find this codec useful if you're a developer working in image processing. As mentioned above, YV12 is a planar format, meaning that for each image, the luma data for all pixels is stored consecutively, followed by the chroma data - this method of accessing pixel components is convenient for many image processing techniques.
The YV12 QuickTime Codec consists of the following QuickTime components :
- YV12 Image Compressor
- YV12 Image Decompressor
- YV12 Movie Importer
- YV12 Movie Exporter
