Also, I just ordered the new TR47/Cowclops transfer. It is still listed in the "big DVD thread index: available versions and ongoing projects" thread as "ongoing." I just got back on the forums after a few months without a computer...are there any other recently-completed projects that are still listed as "ongoing" on that thread? I want to buy all the transfers of comparable quality to the original TR47 set, so I just want to know which ones are completed and where I can get them. I want to get them from their original creators whenever possible to get the earliest generation copies possible too. Lastly are there any worthwhile transfers that aren't listed in that thread? Thanks for any help anyone can give.

You don't need to worry about that. Once the DVD is made, all further copies will be bit-for-bit lossless clones, possessing the exact same 1's and 0's as the "original". There is no generational loss when copying digital media. Analog copying ("copying" is used in a looser sense here") has loss for a variety of reasons, none of which apply to the [literal] copying of digital media.
Of course, someone could take a standalone DVD player and connect it via composite cables or whatever to a standalone DVD player/recorder and make a "copy", complete with loss; but no one does it that way. They are copied as computer files, and there is no loss, just like there is no loss if you copy and paste a JPG image (or whatever) a thousand times; the one thousandth copy will be bit for bit identical to the original JPG.
