Just a quick question. I've watched some of the tutorial videos on youtube which suggest breaking a big project down into smaller sections (.mpg) then loading those smaller (.mpg) files back into PD to create the finished project.
I was wandering, are those files re encoded to create the finished project? If so wouldn't this mean a loss of picture quality?

p.s. my source files are large .avi files created from the WinDV program.
