The very noticeable degradation comes about due to a bug in libdv which is used to do the encoding to DV from cinelerra. When I last looked into this about 2 years ago ffmpeg's DV codec wasn't as badly affected but it still wasn't great. AFAIK libdv is in deep maintenance mode now and I haven't seen any evidence that there's any work going on to find and fix the DV encoding bug. As for ffmpeg I haven't tested the DV encoding functionality of recent versions so I don't know what its status is.
