If both Lagarith and HuffYUV are lossless, then how can Lagarith be "better quality"?

MSU is really slow (for 550 frames it took about 12 minutes).

That should be excellent for capturing!

Yes, that's a very heavy dollop of sarcasm.

The only down side is that Lagarith is slightly slower than HuffYUV. But when it comes to quality and size I would think you would be willing to sacrifice a bit of speed.

The nice thing about HuffYUV is that it is very fast, which makes it very good for capturing. It's not an especially good archive format (because of its size), but it's a great capture format. Considering most people have never heard of Lagarith, and that MBJ has previously quoted figures around 1TB for his storage capacity, I don't think the X0 Project has gone wrong in choosing HuffYUV.
