No. Because if you care about quality, and depending on what you cap, you still want to do IVTC, denoise, sharpen, etc. etc. So you cap to HUFFYUV, then encode to SBC/DiVX4/Xvid. You don't want to cap to a lossy format and then degrade the quality even more on a re-encode. IVTC makes a huge difference IMO. The telecine patterns can get nasty on caps. Aviutl does a great auto job, but it is slow as hell. Graft's Decomb package also seems to work pretty well on non-standard telecine patterns.
