Have you ever looked at the size of losslessly compressed video? It's huge. Lossy compression is the only practical way to store and stream video, since it's typically less than 1% of the size of uncompressed video. Lossless compression typically only gets down to about 50% of the size. It's amazing how much information you can throw out from a video, and barely be able to tell the difference.
