Remuxed MKV

Human eyes

this

There is none because as a consumer you’ll never lay hand on a lossless master file, meaning you’ll only ever get to see compressed video. But yes, the closest there is is a remux.

mkv is not a codec

no shit, dumbass. but remuxing BDs to matroska is the video equivalent of transcoding to flac, because it’s the only way to make a lossless backup of the disc without incurring insane file sizes.

/thread
remuxing, while not a codec, is the practical equivalent to making flacs from a cd
while cd's store audio uncompressed, so can be made smaller through lossless compression, all consumer digital video is lossily compressed to begin with, so there is no room for additional compression without quality loss

if you have the original, lossless source file, then lossless h.264 is pretty guud

>while cd's store audio uncompressed
An analog signal being converted to any form of digital audio is a form of compression.

that's called band limiting

>camcorders don't exist

so these threads are still a thing here

Thank god. Actually useful answers.

hardly anyone records RAW video, so even camcorder footage is compressed.

Betamax

>t. zoomer

Lossless video would still take way too much space to be practical.

ffv1 is the only answer
rawvideo for wav

>not even a mention of Ut video
trash.

My fucking phone can record in RAW.

Well, no
That kind of shit contributes greatly to the confusion of people about raw video and just shows how much of a buzzword it is in the consumer/prosumer world

No, your phone can't record raw video, it requires 30+ MB/s (not Mb/s!) for measly 720p30. Only professional and some hacked cameras can do that, and even then most professional recording is done using lightly compressed or at the very least color-subsampled formats, not lossless raw output.

No it's not
I bet you also think gif is a lossy compression

you still didn't mention any codecs, retard

do you realise how much space lossless video takes up?
it's not even worth it, you can compress video and still get really high quality. blu-rays are already compressed a lot

There's also an important distinction between raw (unprocessed sensor output with no de-Bayering, lens corrections and brightness curve applied) and lossless (output bitstream is unchanged compared to input bitstream).
A video format can be lossless and not raw (e.g. VHS captured in HuffYUV), or it can be raw and lossy (e.g. the variant of CinemaDNG used by Blackmagic)

Do you know any benchmarks that test it as well?

I prefer my stuff being lossless, I can't imagine how a lossy/raw format works. It's like saying a mp3+wav hybrid.

Use the one it's already encoded in for best quality

You still didn't answer OP's question. Nobody asked how to rip Blu-Rays in the highest possible quality.

Already answered

No.
These people tried to provide real answers. The rest discusses the usefulness of lossless video compression, which isn't what OP asked.

AVI
Lossless AVI takes up a fuck ton of space though, FLAC at least have compression methods built in.

dnxhr, prores, cineform
anything intra frame that's 444

> What is Nyquist-Shannon sampling theorem

Like usually on Jow Forums, the OP doesn't know what they actually want.

UT Video, Lagarith

also both h264 and h265 have lossless mode

Which phone would that be? I doubt it can record video in raw or even prores.

I could never get H264 lossless to work. It would always convert to 4:2:0 or 4:2:2.

you're looking for FFV. it doesn't have the fastest encoding but it has the best compression, making it the video equivalent to FLAC.

>t. dipshit

>It would always convert to 4:2:0 or 4:2:2
You should've used proper frontend then, such as baka encoder. Codec itself can handle 4:4:4 (including RGB instead of YUV) just fine.

>lossless codecs
>dnxhr, prores, cineform
are you retarded or just ignorant?

HEVC's lossless compression is really bad though.

Chroma subsampling is still the default behavior. x264 itself will warn you in case of lossless compression, ffmpeg unfortunately swallows this warning.
For x264 use --output-csp i444 and for ffmpeg -pix_fmt yuv444p. RGB is also supported.

learn how to read manuals, idiot.
you need --output-csp "i444" --qp 0 for x264.

>t.projecting retard that doesn't know what AVI is.

What is the DSD equivalent of video codecs?

>You should've used proper frontend then, such as baka encoder.

Jesus fuck, the idiocy in this thread is making me wanna kill myself.

>t. dumbass pseud that apparently can’t tell containers and codecs apart

Not if it's converted using double its datarate.

>It's like saying a mp3+wav hybrid.
you're really not helping your case here: wav is a container format, which while i don't believe supports mp3, it does support some other lossy formats, such as µlaw

H.26[45] and VP9 support lossless compression
it's not necessarily the best idea, though

matroska (mkv) is a container, not a codec

This. A single Hollywood movie would take up potentially dozens of terabytes of storage in raw.

However, I think there's merit to having a lossless equivalent of WEBMs so we can share memes without them looking like terrible artifact garbage like they do the majority of the time.

.wav
if you're a real basedboy you record the NTSC video raw, straight from a component video cable and store it in a .wav file then spend an entire afternoon decoding and demodulating 10 seconds of porn on your slow computer.

>Recording a 7mhz wide analogue signal as wave.

Not happening.

16bit, mono, 12,000,000Hz (ntsc is actually 'only' 6MHz, mono because that includes the audio)
interestingly, the wav format can handle pcm data up to 4.3GHz, so it's totally possible to store an ntsc signal in a wav file

you can easily encode lossless or transparent webms. it’s just not done very often because people are dumbfucks when it comes to multimedia and use shit like online converters with super crappy quality settings or Handbrake to make their webms.

ProRes 422

Fraps AVI :^)

This post is proof that women belong in the kitchen

It does support MP3, just barely any players support it.

well, Fraps uses AVI container, and I don't know about anything else using this codec in a different container.

Need to use x264rgb for RGB, though.

HuffyV from many years ago, lossless 2:1 compression, very fast but obviously not meant for today's higher resolution content.

You certainly can't share lossless WebMs here. Not only is the file size very restrictive, but VP8 doesn't support lossless compression.
Also don't use lossless VP9. libvpx is absolutely shit at lossless compression. Definitely worse than lossless HEVC via x265 (and even that's not really good).

Yes, if you run it via ffmpeg.

>wav
I meant pcm_s16le

Just slap some useless noise on it and there you go.

Which is why you make it a file type that can only compress losslessly. That'd weed out a bunch of shit

I wasn’t saying you should, just that you can. You don’t need lossless for dipshit memes anyway, you want transparency at the most, which you can easily achieve with VP9.
