Is SheerVideo useful for the Component Video codec?

Absolutely. SheerVideo is designed as a superior replacement for Apple’s Component Video codec. SheerVideo directly supports the wide-range Y’CbCr 8bw 4:2:2 pixel format (also known as ‘yuv2’ or ‘yuvu’) used by Component Video. But SheerVideo only takes half as much storage space and half as big a bandwidth to transmit. And in most situations, SheerVideo is twice as fast as Component Video, because it overcomes storage and transmission bottlenecks. Moreover, unlike the Component Video codec, SheerVideo also directly supports other popular component video formats, such as 601-compliant video-range Y’CbCr 8bv 4:2:2 and Y’CbCr[A] 8bv 4:4:4[:4], and even RGB[A] 8b.
