Here are links to two lossless codecs:
They don't offer the same level of compression as lossy codecs like DivX or MPEG-2, but it's still better than no compression at all. And you can recompress with these codecs, over and over, without any image degradation, so they're well-suited for editing.
To use Huffyuv with Poser, configure the codec for RGB output (Poser's native colourspace). You might also enable the RGBA option if you wish to retain Poser's alpha channel in the video.
CorePNG has alpha-channel support, also, and in some cases it'll provide better compression than Huffyuv. It's slower, however, and is still in a beta-state, so you might experience compatibility problems with certain programs. I've used it successfully with Poser and VirtualDub, myself, but my MPEG-converter (TMPGEnc) doesn't seem to like it.
