Use High Quality Video
YUV Colorspace
Check the Use High Quality Video checkbox to increase the quality of decoding
performed on your source media files. (See Output Statistics for information on output
statistics.) If CPU usage is near 95%, or if the frames per second (FPS) is consistently well
below your target, uncheck Use High Quality Video to remedy this. Checked is the
default.
If Render using YUV colorspace is checked, video frames will be rendered on the GPU
using YUV rather than RGB. This will typically provide a performance advantage and
save on memory. However, with some graphics cards this can result in very noticeable
degradation of video quality. Performance will improve when streaming to most
destinations (including Virtual Camera Out), except in combination with some graphics
cards on Windows systems. The best way to know if this option is advantageous to use
on your system is by trial and error, and observe the results.
