Depends what you mean by better. Lossy and Lossless both have advantages/disadvantages. You use what's best suited for what you are doing. Very generally I would say for quick/precise editing use Lossless. Lossy may work for everything else, but then again maybe not.OtakuGray wrote:So in the long run, lossy codecs are better?
While you could say that... (and to a certain extent I agree... kind-of...) but you also have to acknowledge that some pretty amazing stuff can be created by people that don't understand all the tech. Actually, I would wager there's a higher likelihood that people don't understand it; and got into the industry based on Arts credentials and Creative abilities, not tech... ofc, it depends what stage of video production they are part of...OtakuGray wrote:Also. if you don't know what a codec IS ...isnt that unprofessional? If I was a professional video editor, i would want to know everything about videos, even the unnecessary stuff...
