Thread-topic: The color red - Microsoft - and some comments, Peace!
Kevin,
Yeah, 4:1:1 is very problematic for synthetic content.
My general recommendation for folks sourcing in DV but
delivering to DVD or other 4:2:0 codecs is to render using 4:2:2 in
their NLE, to a 4:2:2 codec. The various 4:2:2 uncompressed codecs are
fine, as are Motion JPEG or DV50. But 4:2:2 is a superset of 4:2:0 and
4:1:1, so using it makes sure rendered elements get as much chroma
detail as possible.
Thank goodness we've left behind the YUV-9 codecs (basically
4:1:0:0) - Sorenson Video 1&2 and the various Indeo codecs had hideous
chroma blocking.

and indeed 4:1:1 like DV:
