 You also lost quality by just converting it to a DivX/XviD avi in the 1st
 place, so does it really matter?  Most of teh divx capable players on the
 market are pretty crappy dvd players, so many prefer to use a good DVD
 player instead of a poor divx/xvid capable machine.  Chances are if done
 right you'll see little to no more quality loss converting th avi to dvd
 spec mpeg...altough yes it is lowering the quality as well.  Bottom line if
 you are worried about the quality in the 1st place, you'll buy or rent the
 DVD's instead of downloading overly compressed bootlegs....
