Is DV 8-bit? Exporting for VFX / 24P Advanced DVX footage

Reply Contact

I'm editing DVX 24p Advanced footage and have to send a TIFF sequence to a VFX guy for green screen stuff. When exporting Avid has you specify bit depth (8 or 16) and RGB or 601 color space. I'm not sure which to use on each of these....anyone know?
