Yes, I know, which is why I tried to qualify my question about it specifically not being about trading/archiving issues of a converted dvd (and futilely trying to avoid the long descriptions of the evil of it.)

re: the "destructiveness" of a Multizone DVD Player, yes there might be some quality loss, visually that is [most likely, the average person isn't going to notice!] but atleast its occurring "in-post" and not affecting the source material itself.
My point is that quality loss is quality loss is quality loss. And I was really trying to get down the issue of whether the components in a $40 DVD player doing real time conversion are really visually equivalent to a software conversion. Perhaps they are, but I just never really see that issue covered in any of the faqs on the process.
