Summarize this article for a 10 year old
FFV1 (short for FF Video 1[1]) is a lossless intra-frame video coding format. It can use either variable-length coding or arithmetic coding for entropy coding. FFV1 is particularly popular for its performance regarding speed and size, compared to other lossless preservation codecs, such as M-JPEG2000.[2][3][4]

The encoder and decoder are part of the free, open-source library libavcodec in the project FFmpeg since June 2003.[5] FFV1 is also included in ffdshow and LAV Filters,[6] which makes the video codec available to Microsoft Windows applications that support system-wide codecs over Video for Windows (VfW) or DirectShow.
FFV1 has been standardized at the IETF under RFC 9043.[7] The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) lists FFV1 under the codec-family index "31" in their combined list of video codec references.[8]
