Thanks

This should now be fixed in 30.0.0.23
As for the method used, this is intentionally not documented so we can use better methods in the future if they meet a certain low latency performance threshold.
(Where we find CPU impact is not significant on modern PCs)

Unfortunately the methods you note are either too CPU consuming, require future frames to work (latency) or not compatible with the formats and methods vMix uses internally, so they cannot be considered at this time.
