UT video was developed as an alternative to HuffYUV, in order to achieve better compression. It can handle color spaces such as YUV422 (ULY2), RGB (ULRG), RGBA (ULRA) and, most recently, YUV420 (ULY0).

It has both x86 and x64 builds. Due to its multithreading support, this codec is also capable of encoding HDTV material in real time. The codec requires support for the SSE2 instruction set because it is heavily used for speed optimizations.[1][2]

UT video uses the following FOURCC codes: ULY0, ULY2, ULRA, ULRG.[3]

It is used in the screen recording software OBS studio when set to "Lossless" quality.
