Indeo and Cinepak are both lossy even at their highest settings (100%). There ARE lossless formats on either platform: Mac- animation (rle), graphics (smc), raw, PC- Autodesk RLE (aasc 8 or 24 bit), Microsoft RLE (mrle 8 bit), uncompressed-full-frames (dib 8 or 24). but none yet in common. Perhaps soon someone will port a codec to the other platform. If you're just trying to get the exact images over to the Mac, you might consider saving as a TIFF or TGA sequence. A good book on the subject: How To Digitize Video, Nels Johnson, The San Francisco Canyon Company
