Yes but you have to pay unless you want a logo slapped on your video.

thanx for the reply destiny but just curious is that the best loseless codec that you have to pay for?

The best is what is best for you.

WHy don't you try them and find out?

How am I supposed to know what your criteria are? Best compresion? Best speed? Best set of options?

....

quit posting "what is best" threads. please.

Actually, you don't have to pay for it. You have to register, but it's free to register. I'm using it right now, but I can't really compare it to Huffy, since every time I try to use Huffy, my machine crashes. Hence the reason I'm using Alparysoft.

What AD said really...

Maybe I'm missing something here, but a lossless codec is a lossless codec, therefore you cannot have one lossless codec with better quality than the other.

Ok so that rules out the output, what about its usage?

I edit Huffyuv's in Premiere at the moment, and as anyone will know, rendering is a pain in the ass for CPU intense parts. So I use Huffyuv on the fastest settings(least compression) to save CPU power for the rendering.

If the codec gives faster I/O with lowest compression settings, then you've sold me, if you mean it's better as in compression is higher, then I would assume that decoding will take more processing power, which when editing would go to waste unless every byte of drivespace is crucial (for instance ripping a series or such).

Huff may or may not be the best lossless compression. I look more for speed rather than compression, but "If it ain't broke..."
