Is there such a thing as a "non-lossy" video format? DVD movies use MPEG-2, for example, which is most assuredly a "lossy" format, and most (digital) broadcasts are either MPEG-2 or MPEG-4.
I agree with you that blocky, pixelated video certainly sounds like an artifact of over-compression. I always rip video for my iPod at a bitrate which still looks good played full-screen on my PC.
