Converting From MPEG4 to AVI

[AMDFXtreme]

I got a video file that was AVI, but then was converted to MPEG4. If I convert it back to AVI, will I regain the quality loss?

I dont think so

are you assuming that the quality increased when it was converted from avi to mpeg4 ? b/c i don't think you can add quality to a video, only lower it.

i think this make about as much sense as... If a fan produces cool air spinning in one direction, it makes perfect sense that if spun in the oppsite direction, it would produce heat.

no, infact if anything you'll lose quality

Lol. No, I don't think that. I knew that the quality would be reduced when converted to MPEG4, and I was pretty sure that quality can't increase after being decreased, but I was talked into confirming it.
