We have now a pretty good support of TIFF for pictures and FLAC for
audio streams; but there is still no solution to store lossless (raw)
video material. This problem is a real one like have underlined Manuel.

The following Wikipedia article proposes a list of lossless video codecs:

Dirac, a free codec developed by the BBC, seems to be a good solution.
Do people have some experiences with Dirac?
