MPEG2 is lossy format, and as such any meddling in frame structure and bitrate must be done by re-compression and compression. It doesn't (much) matter if it is D>A>D or D>D.


It is lossy but there is no other source unless we have Robin Hood representatives in all TV stations

Jesus, man, read above: PVR and DVB cards.
jesus, man what ? am i frustrating you ? so sorry.

all these points have already been made.. i dont believe you've read every post.

IMO this entire digital mumbojumbo is just that. a big waste of talk.
yeah...most everything in digital video is currently lossy at some point in the chain.

points we've gone over so far:

1. your MPEG files ...lossy
2. ac3..... lossy
3. D/A converters... eh, lossy kinda.. but not really.. but kinda.
4. there is ZERO signal quality lost transferring standard PAL via a S-Video cable
5. give it 3-5 more years & then we talk/trade lossless video
6. 72mm film still pwns.
7. my steak dinner fucking rocked
8. I forget what eight was for.
9. Nine..Nine for my lost GOD
10. ten..ten..ten. TEN! For everything! everything! everything! everything !!
