Re: Lossy or Lossless?

How would you be going from DVD to the Zoom?
Unless you've got some digital outs on the DVD player that go into the Zoom, you'd have to be using analog out / in and that would mean going through a needless step through extra DA/AD converters, and make it lossy in my opinion.
There are ways to rip audio directly from DVD digitally right in your computer.
But as Leif12345 said, only LPCM audio on a DVD is lossless.
