I would guess part of that this is a myth, obviously, if you have a
poor camera, you likely get poor source quality, but on the encoder
side, Knowledge is the key, the tools are all available to the
Open-Source/Free Software Community. It does require time, effort and
skills to configure an mpeg encoder to produce the best quality
though. This however is not different to what "professional" video
encoding people do.

most encoding done are "preset encodings". even in professional
contexts. in such a situations you would usually get better results
using professional hardware encoders. there are indeed quality
differences in the way the software codecs and encoders have been
implemented, based on experience. have for some time been wanting to
do some extensive testing between floss and few popular proprietary
software encoders out of curiosity but haven't found a moment yet.
"manual" encoding where you do each scene/shot separately after lot
of testing and tweaking of course yields best results but this hugely
time consuming is rarely done.
terje, re your workflow: the concurrency of codecs (capturing from DV
and then to MPEG) is not ideal but if that is the only way to capture
then i that is how it is.
