I believe there shouldn't be any quality loss.

I was confused also, but if someone wrote there's a loss then I thought ok, maybe it is lol.

It certainly isn't the kind of quality loss like the difference between mastertape and 1st gen vhs, but if there is reencoding, there is a loss.

Theres deffinately a quality loss ....and unacceptable in most trading circles . Worst case senario is having an authored dvd copied sa>sa menus wont work ! lol Also recording in a more compressed format like SP or LP , the quality will take a noticable dip.
