I've been told there is an option of lossless Mpeg2.
Is that correct? I doubt about this, so I'm asking you people.
thx

No, high datarate 4:2:2 MPEG2 can be visually lossless, but lossy on the data.

Yes the MPEG consortium does not dabble in lossless codecs.

This question was because some Media 100 guys told me that their system uses An Mpeg2 lossless compression with a 2:1 ratio.

FWIW, PicVideo makes a lossless JPEG codec and it's ratio is about 2:1. I believe Huffyuv is faster, though.
