well, camera sensors "see" in RGB but convert to YUV for storage. When you import to your NLE, you import YUV and the NLE converts it back to RGB for editting. Except for Edius and FCP, anyway, which keep the files in YUV.
There are some pretty ugly color transformations going on in RGB->YUV->RGB. Some codecs handle it properly, others do not. I think there may be some image degredation going on everytime you convert. So, my THEORY is that it's a less corrupted image to avoid color transformations. Vegas has issues with this, altho' I'm sure I'll get an arguement from somebody. This is where 10-bit vs 8-bit processing really helps with more accurate transformations(less banding)
