comm.ViterbiDecoder performing worse than vitdec

I'm trying to get a simple "Hello World" example of convolutional coding and decoding to work. For some reason, the comm.ViterbiDecoder won't ever correctly decode the data, no matter which options I tried, while vitdec works just fine.
trellis = poly2trellis(7,[171 133]);
encoder1 = comm.ConvolutionalEncoder(trellis);
data = randi([0 1],70,1);
codedData = encoder1(data);
tbdepth = 34;
commDecoder = comm.ViterbiDecoder(trellis, 'TracebackDepth', tbdepth, 'InputFormat','Hard','TerminationMethod','Terminated');
decodedData1 = vitdec(codedData,trellis,tbdepth,'trunc','hard');
decodedData2 = commDecoder(codedData);
BER1 = biterr(data,decodedData1)
BER2 = biterr(data,decodedData2)

Hi Marian,
I understand that "comm.ViterbiDecoder" is not decoding the data as compared to "vitdec". The different termination methods could explain why the bit error rate differs between the two decoders.
In your case, you are using the "Terminated" method for "comm.ViterbiDecoder", and "trunc" for "vitdec". Consider setting the termination method "Truncated" for "comm.ViterbiDecoder" instead.
Here is the updated code snippet:
trellis = poly2trellis(7,[171 133]);
encoder1 = comm.ConvolutionalEncoder(trellis);
data = randi([0 1],70,1);
codedData = encoder1(data);
tbdepth = 34;
commDecoder = comm.ViterbiDecoder(trellis, 'TracebackDepth', tbdepth, 'InputFormat','Hard','TerminationMethod','Truncated');
decodedData1 = vitdec(codedData,trellis,tbdepth,'trunc','hard');
decodedData2 = commDecoder(codedData);
BER1 = biterr(data,decodedData1)
BER2 = biterr(data,decodedData2)
I hope this helps!
