CorePNG is a lossless codec based on PNG. Essentially, each frame is compressed as a PNG, so if PNG does it, this codec does too. (RGBA) This codec also has the ability to write P frames and to autodetect when it should. The P frame takes the difference of the previous frame and the current frame and encodes that as a PNG.
CorePNG was originally developed for use with the subtitles, it compresses cartoons and CGI very well and in many cases better than Huffyuv and Loco at the expense of time.
