Hi, I am editing a video, and don't want to re-encode it using lossy compression PRIOR to importing it into Splash Pro for processing.
So far I have tried about 5 differernt lossless or uncompressed codecs, and none seem supported by Splash. I get no video playback, only audio, when playing back within Splash Pro Ex.

Do you have a list of all supported codecs? Will it be possible for me to import a lossless or uncompressed video format?

What containers are supported for this as well? My target is .AVI, but I can do wmv or mov or whatever....

please let me know, it will greatly impact whether or not I purchase Splash.

If you currently do not support ANY lossless or uncompressed codecs in any shape, container, or form, please also let me know and I would greatly encourage you to add this to a newer version of Splash as encoding, re-encoding, and then encoding yet again in splash for output causes massive quality/image/resolution loss and will result in a lower quality, blurry file, even if it gets that special touch that only Splash can provide.

Thanks in advance

No one, I guess.
But you could try avc in lossless mode. But I doubt that your video editing software support it... So lossless from editor -> some tool to encode to that format -> Splash pro ex.
UPD: Splash doesn't support H.264 lossless.
Or just using huge bitrate / low quantizer.

mp4, mkv, avi... mostly all containers.

From my tests splash pro ex is better when you need speedy encoding, but don't care about quality&bitrate of the result video.
And if you want to gain best quality with lower file size/bitrate - I suggest using any x264 based tool, with placebo (or at least veryslow) preset (and encoding to High profile of course).

At the moment Splash does not support loseless video support.
We plan to add support in future versions.
