Well, yes, but that's not what I'm asking for, i.e. a source for the number
of uncorrectable errors that result in video data being "filled in" by
extrapolation.

Sorry, but that's not what I'm asking. The contention here is that there is
generational loss in straight copies of digital video data, and I've never
heard that anywhere else. For generational loss to occur, there have to be
gross drop out errors that can be fixed by conventional ECC and, per you and
Martin, are fixed by extrapolating based on prior or subsequent video data,
i.e. pixels are filled in. I'll take your word that happens, but I don't
believe it happens often enough to be a concern. I'd like to see some data
that suggests that, notwithstanding every source I've ever seen that says
digital video dupes are lossless, this isn't so (see the quote from Adobe in
a post I made to Martin).
