SheerVideo was a family of proprietary lossless video codecs developed by BitJazz Inc. The codecs enabled devices to play, capture, edit, and archive high-quality lossless videos in real time.

As of July 2023, SheerVideo is still available as a set of QuickTime codecs on Mac and Windows and as a set of AVI codecs on Windows.

SheerVideo can stream uncompressed-quality video at 1920x1080 resolution at 30 frames per second over a FireWire 800 line.

SheerVideo was available for Mac OS X, Mac OS 8, and Mac OS 9.

As of September 2022, SheerVideo is no longer under active development.
