Hey..

Just found out that I had burned most of my DVD's to a low quality disc. I bought some Ridata's and now it's fine. Now I need to redo my previous burns. The question is: If I use DVD Decrypter on my burned DVD's, do I lose quality vs burning the original DVD?

Theoretically, no. Being digital data, it doesn't matter.

True about it being digital but because the data is "transcoded" from the original. It seems to imply that there is a slight quality loss on one burn from the original.

The question would be is that quality loss just a one time hit? It's kind of making the following statement and wondering if it's true: "Transcoding only lowers the quality of the DVD to a certain level. Therefore, transcoding a previously transcoded DVD will not result in further loss of quality".

i think you are making it more complicated than it is. if you can burn it, then it will be the same. Maybe it won't copy every last bit, but concerning video quality there is NO change. (if you arn't compressing it, of course)

DVD Decryptor isn't a transcoder, just a ripper, so as alseides said there isn't any quality loss.
