Hi there,

Thanks for that. PicVideo is fast, but it's single-threaded, so nowhere near fast enough. Morgan MJPEG blows it out of the water. MagicYUV is - as you say - lossless. It's based on the same type of formula as UT codec, and produces equivalent filesizes.

x264 VFW is an interesting option, but I have a pretty specific set of requirements. The codec's got to be intra-frame (I know I can configure that) but not only that I need duplicate frames in any given video to decode identically. In my tests, if I feed x264 the same frame in sequence, the encode is very, very slightly different on each frame. Again, Morgan MJPEG does that. ProRes does too, but it's Mac only. So annoying that I cannot contact the Morgan developer...
