    Is there anyway to encode a movie to MPEG-2 losslessly? I don't care if it takes up 90 GB, I just need it encoded to MPEG-2 losslessly. Preferably using CCE.

    No, that is not possible because the algorithm used to compress the video is based on tosing information that is not needed, or is repeated.

    However, using a bit rate of 15Mb/sec or higher on 720x480 video, you will not see any difference in quality unless you go frame by frame and look for artifacts.

    Network TV use mpeg-2 for server storage and satellite transmission of network programming. The bit rate of these mpeg-2 programs will be in the 8-16Mb/sec range. The station I work for use 8Mb/sec for all TV programs on the server. If you need to save the program for editing, than I would suggest mjpeg for easy editing, and up to lossless compression. 50Mb/sec mjpeg would be professional editing quality video.
