Yes there is a loss of qualityIn short form : Yes it does go down.

MP3 is a form of "lossy" encoding. When you 'rip' a song from a CD to mp3, you are actually encoding a .wav file to .mp3 file. Higher the mp3 bitrate, lower the loss of quality but there is a loss. This is why the mp3 tracks occupy much less space than the wav audio tracks.

When you are converting back from MP3 to CD (to a .wav file basically), your source is the lossy mp3 track, which you can not restore back to the original. Converting to a .wav file will not lose anything from the quality of mp3 recording but mp3 was lossy to start with.

What format does video have to be to burn on DVD-rw?

As I know, it doesn't matter what the video format is when you burn a video to DVD-rw or DVD+rw. What's important is that whether your DVD burner supports the video format. For example, I use wondershare to burn my DVDs, it supports AVI, MPG, MPEG, WMV, MOV, DAT and many other video formats. So I could burn downloaded movies, videos, even bit torrent and YouTube movie to DVD.
