There is a "png " codec that can be used to store lossless frames in
quicktime.  I think it's really intended for production/editing use,
but I've run into it once in the wild:

That's a music video done in the style of low-res videogame graphics,
where solid colors and hard pixels are desired.

The downside is that while the Apple quicktime player (on MacOS and
Windows) can display it, I have yet to find any Linux video player
that recognizes the codec, even with the win32 binary dlls loaded.
