Sure, just don't compress the file at all. However, in your case, the files you have may already be crappy re-encodes. Your best bet is to do some research on either making your own rips, or find a quality source online. However, don't let crappy re-encoded DVD rips deter you from treating yourself to an awesome television. If I were you though, I'd wait and get an SED tv instead of an LCD.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Yeah, you'll find more and more as you learn about encoding that most people online do a shitty job. It's rare to be able to find good releases of movies that have optimized resolution and bit rate. My brother is big on dling stuff and has finally devised his own method for doing DVD rips as he's fed up with poor quality rips.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
