There's no HuffYUV in Quicktime proper, but there are native formats available in Quicktime designed for transport of high-resolution, uncompressed video:
- "2VUY", also called "Component Y'CbCr 8-bit 4:2:2". All that means is that the format devotes 8 bits per luma and blue/red chroma channels, and that a 2:1 sampling ratio exists between the luma and chroma channels (i.e. for every red/blue chroma component (or "pixel") there exist two luma samples). This is generally a good thing to use if you ever have the need.
- "v410", also called "Component Y'CbCr 10-bit 4:4:4". Same as above, except that you devote 10 bits per channel, and have a 1:1 sampling ratio between luma and chroma. If you have the disk space, try this.
- "v408", also called "Component Y'CbCrA 8-bit 4:4:4:4", which is the same as above, except it uses 8 bits per channel, and adds an alpha channel. I've really only found this to be useful in producing intermediate editing files, but I'm no DV professional, and I'm sure that the alpha channel is used in clever ways by other pieces of hardware.
..and more. See
