Call for lossless video codecs (new comparison)

CALL FOR LOSSLESS VIDEO CODECS
-------------------------------------------------------------------

We are planning to update our old comparison of lossless video codecs (see http://www.compression.ru/video/codec_comparison/index_en.html ). We are looking for the new lossless video codecs or competitive video codecs which were not included in the existing comparison document. We are interested in general-purpose codecs right now (e.g. screen capture codecs is out of scope of this comparison). It is planned to compare codecs within "video capture&editing" and "maximum compression" areas.

Currently we are aware of the following codecs:

1. Alpary
2. AVIzlib
3. CamStudio GZIP
4. CorePNG
5. FFV1 ffdshow
6. GLZW
7. HuffYUV
8. Lagarith
9. LEAD JPEG
10. LOCO
11. MindVid
12. MSUlab
13. PicVideo JPEG
14. VBLE
15. Arithyuv
16. Sheervideo
17. FastCodec
18. x264 lossless

Please let us know about other good lossless codecs by replaying this message.

Mr. Moderator BJ_M
You seem to have considerable expertise, that goes all the way to digital cinema. I have been browsing your blog, and found several places that you mention QuVis, mostly favorable. I am very interested in this, and would like to know what hardware you have, and how you use it. Also, with all of the turmoil, how do you see QuVis as a long term player?
