Yes. DV-50, also known as D9, Digital-S, or DVCPRO50, is an approximating codec, while SheerVideo is a perfect-fidelity codec. No DV-50 codec is currently available in software, so error statistics are unavailable. But DV-50 definitely has a non-zero error rate, whereas SheerVideo’s error rate is zero. Unlike DV-50, SheerVideo is available as a QuickTime codec for use in video applications. In addition, SheerVideo supports alpha compression, Y’CbCr[A] 8bv 4:4:4, and RGB[A], and arbitrary resolution.
