I know it's stuck as a description in computer-land - doesn't mean it's right...)Y'UV/YUV and Y'CbCr/YCbCr are interchangeably used these days and I completely agree with you that the usage is confusing and not exactly right, but I think the use of YUV in digital video originates from the YUV Digital Disk format developed by Abekas in the late 80's/early 90's. Personally, I use YUV terminology for anything related to digital video storage and YCbCr for anything related to video signal.
