Full quality codec

Hi all.

I have a problem. I render videos with my own rendering engine. But there are very difficult sequences and I want to edit the video later with AfterEffects or something like that.

So, is there a codec that perhaps saves every frame in jpg format. When I use DivX at best quality settings it still makes some scrambling in my image. I don’t want to use “no compression”, because I have rather long sequences and I don’t have the disk space.

Thx
Martin

You might want to use lossless codecs instead.
