I can't find significant coverage for this codec. Joe Chill (talk) 01:39, 2 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- There mostly isn't any, not just for Lagarith though, but for lossless video codecs in general. I've tried myself to find good sources, but have only found 1 to 3 that meet wikipedia's source requirements. I've gone ahead and added the 2 related ones to the article, but it seems a bit off to have the same source on every other article related to lossless video. -- Brandished (talk) 19:31, 7 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I saw that the topic is marked for deletion, but I did not see any reason given for deleting it. Imagine my position on this. I just came from a very satisfying session of creating lossless video from a major 3D application, and, given the style of my rendering, this codec compresses it better than most of the alternatives. Given its quality, reliability, compression efficiency, and the relative lack of alternatives, this topic is an important one. Please expand the coverage--don't destroy it!

- Delete. Can't find any sources on the software. I work with lossless video and audio, so the software may come in handy however. But delete the article. TheWeakWilled (T * G) 21:16, 16 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. I believe this is a encoding scheme is noteworthy as it's been consistently shown to outperform most (if not all) other lossless codecs at the editing stage. I don't think there's enough sourced content here to justify this being an independent article though. I think a better idea would be consolidating this into a "lossless video" article with most of the other lossless video codecs (Huffyuv, MSU, FFV1, SheerVideo). Most of them are in the same shape as far as content and have a fair amount of overlapping material. This would also prevent these articles from being re-added later.
