Hello

What is the significance of the MJPG and YUV2 designations, in Debut's video format options?

Does this affect, for example, subsequent conversion to MP4?
Does it affect the image quality, the file size?

Hello. 

Motion JPEG (M-JPEG or MJPEG) is a video compression format in which each video frame or interlaced field of a digital video sequence is compressed separately as a JPEG image.

YUY2 Video Picture Encoding. Description. A digital, color-difference component video picture format identified by the FOURCC code YUY2. This format employs 4:2:2 chroma subsampling with each sample represented by 8 bits of data.

So, the difference is that The MJPEG codec uses more compression, resulting in a higher frame rate and a lower quality image. The YUY2 uses less compression, resulting in a higher quality image and a lower frame rate.
