I don't know a good answer to this question, but:

1) if you render to PNG format, you'll get a series of numbered image
files, which you can convert into whatever format movie you like using
ffmpeg or mencoder.  That's what I tend to do, because it gives me the
most control.

2) pabs3 has been working on adding MNG support, which offers lossless
video encoding, but I don't think he's got it working yet

3) I don't see any way to change the parameters other than editing the
line in src/modules/mod_ffmpeg/trgt_ffmpeg.cpp that says:
  strprintf("ffmpeg -f image2pipe -vcodec ppm -an -r %f -i pipe: -loop
-hq -title \"%s\" -vcodec mpeg1video -y \"%s\"\n", ...);
and rebuilding.

4) you could try rendering to type 'avi', if you have the libavcodec module.

5) or perhaps the 'miff' imagemagic target is useful?  I've not tried
it, but maybe it can do lossless multi-frame images?
