When you make a backup copy of a movie from its original DVD, there is some quality loss, but hardly noticeable. If you make a copy of that copy, there is definite loss of video quality. If you make a copy of this copy (I think it's called third generation) the quality is awful. I don't know if that works the same with cloning hard drives. If so, then I would have to make more than one bare-metal copy of the original. I'm getting Déjà vu.....could of sworn I answered this yesterday!

In digital, quality is only lost when re-encoding.
When replicating the video information byte-per-byte, no quality is lost.
