Best lossless codec. Way faster than Lagarith.

Excellent for editing video losslessly for later encoding. I like this much better than Lagarith or Huffyuv.

Awesome tool! Fast and stable, no fire-and-forget program, developer updates regularly, which makes this one a true little gem.

Definitely one of the best lossless codecs. It is efficient, fast, supports multithreadding and runs absolutely stable. And even better: It still improves, because the developer heavily optimizing his code.

I've been using it for well over a year now, & haven't found anything better for HD intermediates [i.e. for storing/transferring video between operations &/or apps before final, lossy encoding]. Every mjpeg codec tried works OK at DVD rez, but falls down with heavy quality loss for HD, & I've had compatibility prob with Sony & Avid codecs intended for HD. UT Video just works, works with every app I've tried, & works well across 7 ult 64 & XP Pro SP3 32.

A BIG THANK YOU to the dev.
