They trade off compression for CPU time. I don't see a problem here.> Why not start a project page?Code first.

Hi, has the subject of creating a lossless video codec been considered? I know Dirac is available, but it is a hybrid; saving a file and having to set a compression setting is not very intuitive for a novice. I suggest a lossless codec for the distant future, an idea of the codec's name is: FLAV. Free Lossless Agile Video. The goals of it would be: Provide lossless video, have a reasonable file size and be able to decode on an average machine. It's obviously slated toward the future, when bandwidths can actually handle transferring the file.
