i think i have heard/read that the bt829 is only capable of YUV
(native format out of the ADC) and relies on the video card's
ability to do YUV->RGB conversion (i think modern cards are able to do
this, but there is no X11 support for it).

so in the end the 829 might work reasonably well for videoconferencing
apps (where you use YUV) but not for things like fxtv
