I am trying to convert some lossless .avi files to .mp4 or .mkv files but the thing is, I am not sure what is the default for converting to lossless .mp4 or .mkv. I want to do this in Virtualdub2 to make but is the default settings for any other type of converter such as Handbrake, RipBot, etc.?
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays! or rip iTunes movies!

To encode to lossless AVC video, you need to specify quantizer 0 (as documented in the help screen of x264):
Code:Lossless: x264 --qp 0 -o <output> <input>
-
What about in the Windows version of those very same codecs? Like x264 8 bit?

The codec does not behave differently on different operating systems.

Have you considered simply using MKVToolNix? No re-encoding quality in = quality out, same with file size.

MKV will be able to contain the original video format from the AVI. MP4 requires one of a few supported video formats.
-
How do you translate this into the x264 configuration in Virtualdub2?
-
CRF 0 may work too; but Constant Quantizer 0 is the primarily documented method.
