Such as in fast motion between frames or in regions between frames. When a region is static between frames lossy compression is fine, since the entire region is static. Again do not tell me my business.
You claimed upsampling is done. Upsampled video looks terrible. Downsampling is what is done because that looks amazing if done properly. You claimed no video codecs in use are capable of lossless compression, the most popular codec in use today is capable of such and delivers lossless compression when needed, as determined by the encoder on a routine basis by one of the two biggest streaming services in existence with very good results.
You clearly do not know as much about video as you think you do.
Maybe instead of calling me a liar and trying to start a flame war you should actually get some facts right?
