That's just the way that it works. The "Abekas" format specifies not only
the data format on the tape, but D1 YUV for the images as well. Selecting
D1 in LW only sets the resolution and pixel aspect ratio, the files are
still Amiga IFF. Even if you use the HIIP option in LW to save as YUV (if
that option exists), you're still using the ASDG/ER engine that is
esentially the guts of AdPro to convert the frames after saving.
Where are you taking these frames after transferring to tape? If it's just
another machine locally, networking the two together would be more
