Resolution to my problem, sort of. Compatibility problems..

Some of you may remember my problems getting my VHS to DVD conversions to be compatible on one of my DVD players plus my mom's dvd player. Well, I found a work around. I made a DVD from analogue camcorder footage. It didn't work in my bedroom DVD player (Mintek 1600). I then took the DVD, and used DVDXCopy to make a full disc backup. The backup did work in my Mintek 1600. So I took the DVD to my living room TV where I have a much bigger image to examine the quality. Here's my beef: The video was very pixilated at times. The original DVD (Ritek) doesn't get pixilated at all, it's perfect. Just this backup has problems. My question: Could a simple back lead to reduction in quality? I did no compression. It should be a simple 1's and 0's transfer, right? I'm just looking for ideas as to why the quality would have reduced. Oh, and the backup was on a Memorex DVD-R (CMC) brand. Thanks.

I also tried with an Optodisk, and same problem. Must be DVDXcopy doing it.
