Thanks.  I meant it as a serious question.  I started out testing obvious lossless codecs for ability of encoding 1080p in real-time with moderate CPU for transport on a 10G network.  I landed on FFVHUFF, but some more research has suggested that x264 could work better in terms of compression if I can deal with yuv420p (not completely lossless from a YUV 4:4:4 source).  As you are likely aware, TS already supports h.264, so I think I am good to go unless more research suggests x264 has limits that I have not yet understood.
