One thread 6+ months ago, and I'm supposed to immediately remember you
or the codec by name, and so is everyone else on this list?

Well, you already have the data "as it comes" in the file.  If the
container is a problem, you could easily use mplayer -dumpvideo.  I
assume you're "decoding" it with MPlayer for some reason...

And as long as you're converting to a color space with a higher
bit-depth, there's no inherent reason for any loss.  Whether libsws is
bit-accurate or not (for speed/quality reasons) is an open question.
