Is there generational loss with ffdshow's internal Huffyuv codec?

[Avisynth_challenged]

Here's what I mean: I'm starting out with a source AVI that is Huffyuv YUY2. I need to perform several filtering steps on it in Avisynth, and will try to keep it as Huffyuv YUY2 throughout. I would be using ffdshow's internal Huffyuv encoder to render my output AVIs.

Now as I understand it, Huffyuv is a lossless codec. So if I perform all the filtering steps that my source needs in multiple renderings (maybe four to six generations, relative to the original source AVI), would there be any decrease in quality versus if I performed all the filtering in one Avisynth script and output the final AVI without the intermediate renderings?

I'm hoping that I can go in increments so that I can tackle one thing at a time. But if there's going to be any generational loss in doing so, I'm going to have to rethink that approach.

Thanks to anyone who reads, and to anyone who responds.

hello,
huffyuv is lossless, so no generation-loss. But to be sure you get no problems: :script:

lossless means their is no generational loss. So there will be no difference between a huge script and 6 generations; if in the end the scripts do the same thing.

Thanks, a bunch. I can thus procede with confidence, now that the Doom9 experts have spoken. :)
