Maybe take a look at the Dirac page?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/opensource/projects/dirac/

>From the site:
"Dirac is a state of the art video codec that provides general-purpose
video compression and decompression tools. It is cross-platform and
written in ANSI standard C++. Currently Dirac is in alpha (early
development). It is principally command line but there is an
experimental support for Windows Media Player and MPlayer. Ultimately
Dirac will support a variety of players on different platforms. For
more information visit the home page, in particular the FAQ at
http://dirac.sourceforge.net/faq.html.";
