Re: DVR to DVD- Encoding?

The DVD recorder is going to encode the video, most likely to mpeg-2, and mp2 or aac audio. The only way you wouldn't experience loss, is to get the actual file from the DVR and onto a computer, demux it to the individual streams (if they are in DVD acceptable format), then author it to a disc. I don't know that it's actually possible to get the file off the DVR though, that's out of my knowledge range.

The TL;DR is you are going to get encoding every time with the standalone recorder.
