I'm not sure what these codecs are, as there seems to be scarce documentation about them in ffmpeg and libavcodec. Can anybody shed light on these points:

1) Is FFV1 lossless, as it doesn't have a bitrate selector in ffdshow?
2) If FFV1 is lossless, does that make FLV1 lossy? If so, what do the acronyms mean exactly?

Just asking, I don't really care that much. I may test them later in the year, and it's nice to know.

Yes, FFV1 is lossless...

And FLV1 is a flash video format iirc !?!
