    Absolutely! Also any independent comparison of lossless h264
    efficiency with MSU Screen Capture Lossless Codec
    http://www.compression.ru/video/ls-codec/screen_capture_codec_en.html
    will be very interesting. Now the best results for screen capture
    content is clamed but external independent comparisons is
    necessary.

Yours,
 Dmitriy
