U2Lynne,

Thanks for the answer, but it's not the lack of lineage that's troubling me, it's the acceptance of recordings from digital TV that haven't been made according to rule #8 - i.e. they have been recorded using a standalone DVD recorder (introducing a lossy analogue stage, followed by a re-encoding), rather than being a direct digital capture of the broadcast DVB MPEG stream.

I have reported one such DVD, followed by PMs to the video mods, and I've simply been ignored - hence my query asking if this rule is still being applied, which hasn't even been replied to in this thread.
