Some quality loss when written back to tape

Hi,

I captured in DV-AVI format, supposed to be lossless, and then wrote back to DV tape. When watching edited tape and original tape using frame by frame it is obvious that some quality was lost when transferred to Movie Maker and back to tape.

Did anybody experience this or know why something like this would happen?

Thanks,

Sergei.

That's "normal". Assuming you have a keen eye, which is
apparent, you would need much more expensive equipment and
software to get near-perfect reproduction. ANY transfer of
a digital signal to audio is inherently lossy. Only a fully
digital system from capture to final playback could come
close to perfection.
