[FFmpeg-devel] Official status of FFv1?

This is hilarious irony.  Lagarith is one of the worst-designed
lossless codecs in history, not merely with no spec, but it uses
FLOATING POINT MATH in its entropy decoder.  If you merely look at it
wrong it will corrupt your video.

If you're looking for a lossless encoder, also look at x264 lossless.
It tends to outperform FFV1 on cleaner sources (FFV1 will win on very
grainy/noisy sources).
