If you've compiled mplayer with largefile support, and are allowing
mplayer to write ODML headers, it should work fine.  This could always
be a bug that's already been fixed, so trying latest CVS before
reporting bugs is standard.

mpeg2video with vqscale=2 and keyint=1 will be practically perfect (no,
not lossless), and very fast.

If you want lossless, try huffyuv.

AC3 is standard.  Most all seem to support MP2 audio as well.
