NEXT QUESTION: How much quality is lost when capturing from minidv, exporting raw .avi to dvd disc and then using that disc as the source video. I have 200+ hours of content and harddrive space is not an option. I burn raw 20 min+/- segments to dvd disc and then use them in Premiere Pro from the drive on the computer. This way, when I need to use a video, I open the .proj file, insert the dvd, and "locate the source" - it conforms the video/audio and is ready to edit. Is there any significant quality loss from using the .avi file form a disc vs. directly from a harddrive????

Any loss will not be noticeable and nobody will care unless you plan on going showing your clips to a bunch of Motion Picture and Television Engineers.
The only loss of quality you will achieve is when you finish all your editing and you choose which format you want to export it on.
Theoritically, your process is just transfering your AVI from one storage device to another without any compression, so there is no loss in quality. Unless the DVD is scratched, but then you lose information... information and quality are 2 seperate notions.
Sooooo all in all, the answer to your question is : No
