VCD/SVCD Copy Quality

[therobman]

If one were to make a copy of a copy of a VCD/SVCD, would the quality become successively poorer, in the same way that paper copies tend to?

If you're simply copying the VCD using Nero or whatever, then it's a perfect digital copy and won't lose anything in the process. You can even extract the MPEG files using something like CDmage or ISObuster and burn your own VCD and you still won't lose any quality at all.

If on the other hand you re-encode the files with an MPEG encoder you'll lose quality, yes - but there's no reason to do this.
