Interestingly even rawvideo and the other uncompressed formats I tried
resulted in high max/near-max CPU usage. I would have expected low cpu
usage and I/O issues. Even if it's a lot of data muxing can't be that
expensive, right?

Is there a circumstance where YUV can losslessly sotore/restore the
original image? The is issue is rounding errors, right?


Lot of recommendations, which is cool. But isn't there some sort of
agreement which is the fastest lossless codec/setting? (Not counting
uncompressed formats)
