no loss, (especially when using digital DV cameras and decks). Optimally, to avoid analog losses altogether, you should record in and out using the MiniDV format. But it is also possible to input from a DV camera and to record out through YC (S-video) CVBS (RCA) or SCART (in Europe) to a VHS, SVHS, or Hi8 recorder, and still get phenomenal results. It is not necessary to install any additional components whatsoever (such as computer boards, memory modules, etc).
