The only true lossless formats out for consumers is huffYUV and uncompressed. Anything else is going to be lossy.

Well, if you want to get really technical, those are only lossless in compression; you can still lose data with colorspace conversions.
Also, LZO compression is another option. It is very fast (actually, it's the fastest lossless decompression/compression library around), and compresses decently. transcode, mplayer, and xine support LZO-compressed AVIs; I don't know of any Windows utilties that do, though.

I didn't know about LZO . Of course it's for loonix only currently it seems. :\
