rendering over and over

I look through this forum everyday to find info that I might use. It seems
the resolution for numerous issues such as adding multiple sound tracks is to
render the movie then import it back in to MM. My question is, does each
rendering of the movie lessen the quality? I realize it is digital which
makes everything 1s and 0s but is there an algorithm that converts the file
that. over time, could lessen the quality. I am just asking because I told my
son if he writes a movie I will film it with he and his frinds but the sound
track will be the hardest part. If I can render about 9 times then I am in
good shape.
 
Furthermore if it is just the sound track you want to modify with the
multiple generation renderings... then there is a simple solution to avoid
any generation loss in video quality: In a furhter pass you can mix the
audio track of the n-th generation with the video of the source or first
generation, thus keeping the best video with your desired audio.
 
U agree, people have always talked about the "generational" loss of quality
but I too have tested and not seen anything significant at all. With DV-AVI
I see none what-so-ever and only a slight issue with high speed movement in
WMV format.
