ram1009: Glad you’re sorted out!
Spookster: You’re tilting at windmills. *ALL* forms of digital capture are lossy. EVERY ONE. It is impossible to convert from an analog source to digital without losing content.
All it means when an audio codec refers to itself as “Lossless” is that it doesn’t lose MORE than was lost at the digitization / quantization steps.
So once you understand that a digital medium is already lossy by nature, one only has to decide how much can be lost without changing the “impression” that the medium has on the listener / viewer.
Blu-Rays are already compressed by 95% using a lossy codec. There has been so much improvement in the codecs that BD’s can be RECOMPRESSED without sacrificing the perceived quality.
