YCbCr is generally the preferred option for video purposes. It provides more accurate colours. Which is mainly why it's the preferred encoding for things like Blu-Ray, DVD and satellite/cable broadcast.

RGB on the other hand will provide richer colours but it's also the cause of black crush, which you generally want to avoid.l and it's much easier to get inaccurate colours.

Usually it's best to stick to YCbCr And let your display worry about converting it to RGB as it will by default.
