i was referring to the film world--there is no viable lossless video codec being pursued at this point

H.264 is not truly lossless, no matter what bit rate you choose [technically no digi video is lossless, but thats a whole nother discussion i have no interest in arguing]...sure there's lossless compression thats been created, HuffYUV and what not, but they're just fringe codecs really...the film industry, which dictates standards/norms, has shown little or no interest in using them

i'll also note, the accuracy of the info in that link isn't exactly spot on...hell, they have ATRAC listed as "Advanced Lossless" audio
