I have a hand full of questions regarding my dvd bootlegs I have just acquired. I am new to collecting dvds but have been collecting audio for a little longer and that seems to be easier to diagnose whether its lossless and in its original source or not.

How am I supposed to know if a dvd is actually in it's original recorded quality?

How can I tell if a dvd has been up/down converted from it's original source?

What is a generation, like first, second, third, et cetera?

Is there really no true lossless video format?

I'm sure once people start posting and answering my questions I'll come up with more. For the time being that's all I have though and I appreciate all your help!!!
