No ..but i do know more than 1 ,in the way of editing tools and software that frame edit and export SR lossless.

Done the right way ,if you have the players to do it, you can make a 240 line 1970's SVHS transfer look better than a year old filmed show captured through the PC as AVI with a 30 quid digital.
All those AVI's have to go through an encoding process once on your PC so you have bloated and re-compressed to a NEW structure what WAS in effect mpeg2 to start with going down that alley as well.
Filters,etc ,can be applied to both ways during transfer if needed and in some cases in real time ,again depending on what you have to do this.

Basically ,if you have it in 1 format and you can find software/hardware that can the deal with it SR lossless ,the boat has the same name on it.

Don't get me wrong Joe,I am not saying that 1 way is better than the other.I am saying that "to PC" is NOT the only way to achieve exactly the same outcome in the transfering of video objects!
