I've written a utility called "Huffyuv" which may be useful to readers of
this group. It's a lossless codec for VfW which is designed to replace
uncompressed YUY2 as a capture format. Compression is typically around 2:1,
and it's fast enough to run in real time during video capture. The new
version 1.1 also supports compression of RGB data, so Huffyuv can be used to
compress the output of programs like VirtualDub.
Huffyuv is free software distributed under the terms of the GNU GPL, and
full source code is available.
