Someone in another forum recently made a troubling suggestion about home DVD recorders with built in hard drives.
They suggested that archiving material from the hard drive to DVD may result in a loss of quality, as the image has to be reprocessed, and recompressed.
Can anyone confirm if this is the case, and whether you get a better picture recording directly onto DVD in the first place?
While I'm on the subject, does anyone know if you lose quality when editing the contents of a DVD-Ram disc onto a DVD-R disc via a PC?
Many thanks,
