Shouldn't you just use Handbrake and H.264/AAC? (Assuming your computer is fast/new enough to play it back.)

The article (and the person you're replying to) is referring to lossless compression. Converting to H264 and AAC may maintain a high quality at a lower bitrate but they're definitely not lossless.

I assume he'd want it to be lossless, as is the case with Lepton.
