Any suggestions on TransCoding Software ? I'm presently using Prism File Converter. I want to know if there are any other options available, I need to trancode video of any format to the following without loosing any quality. Which of the following codecs below are insignificant and useless ?

Quicktime DV / DVCAM
Quicktime DVCPRO
Quicktime DVCPRO 50
Quicktime DVCPRO HD
Quicktime H.264 (playback performance dependant on CPU – transcode recommended) (What is different about QT h.264 over other h.264, because the video editor won't load other variants of h.264 ?)
Quicktime AVCHD (playback performance dependant on CPU – transcode recommended)
Quicktime Photojpeg (playback performance dependant on CPU – transcode recommended)
MXF OpAtom DVCPRO (P2)
MXF OpAtom DVCPRO 50 (P2)
MXF OpAtom DVCPRO HD (P2)
MXF Op1a DV / DVCAM (XDCAM)
MXF Op1a MPEG-2 SD I-Frame (10Mb/s – 50Mb/s)
MXF Op1a MPEG-2 HD I-Frame (50Mb/s – 300Mb/s)
AVI DV / DVCAM
AVI DVCPRO
AVI DVCPRO 50
AVI DVCPRO HD
AVI Uncompressed SD
AVI Uncompressed HD
AVI MPEG-2 SD I-Frame
AVI MPEG-2 HD I-Frame
AVI MJPEG

These are the following Video and Audio CODECS on my PC. Any of them work with the formats I need to convert to listed above ? Are there any video and audio codecs listed below that are old I don't need, and can delete ?
