DV is loosy vs Huffyuv that is lossless...!!!!
Should I change to Huffyuv then? Does this mean DV has less quality then the other? I also heard DV has some pixel aspect ratio not being square issuee! what does this mean... And what about MJPEG codec is it good? And if I want Huffyuv I know I can't use DV Dazzle Bridge anymore can't it? what are my chances then?

DV is loosy vs Huffyuv that is lossless

yes DV is lossy while huffyuv is lossless; however the transfer from DV camera to PC via firewire is lossless. so if your source is not a DV tape, then yes there is technically some quality loss.

And what about MJPEG codec is it good?

not as good as DV
