The Raptor codec is both very efficient, and very
accurate. For comparison, the older DVSoft codec
would take almost twice as long to render, and it
slightly darkened and shifted toward green all
rendered material. Until QT5, the Apple codec was
pretty poor (color smear and other problems, and
not very efficient) - and FCP is notoriously slow
in rendering...

More resolution, but lower frame-rate, for the same
data-rate for both PAL and NTSC...
