Well, yes and no...;-)
In terms of image and sound quality, the digital signal will
be the same, but the drop-out rate may increase. BTW, it is
my impression that it is safer to rerecord on tape that has
been "blacked", since the error correction appears better
able to distinguish between a dropout over black than a
dropout over previous picture - but I'm guessing... And
I would probably not use "LP" mode when recording over
used tape, if the recording is important.
