Someone asked me if a recordable DVD needed an encoder a few weeks ago. The premis was that the signal is already encoded.

In thinking about this, the only answer that I came come up with is that a DVD Player could record the signal before it is decoded. This would eliminate an encoder in DVD Players, and make recordable as cheap as non-recordable.

In PC-DVD, however; you are storing data that is created. It needs to be compressed, minimum. Cheap codec.
