I should add that "-vcodec mpeg4 -qscale 2" is not lossless 
and does not even keep the chroma subsampling of 4:2:2.
You could test "-vcodec mpeg2video -pix_fmt yuv422p 
-qscale 2 -mbd 2" but I am not sure if WMP supports 
decoding yuv422 mpeg2video.
The files are supposed to be bigger but higher quality 
if your input is really 4:2:2.

H.264 can do 4:2:2 but WMP does not support decoding 
it afair.
