The problem with converting to a common format and back again is that for lossy compression schemes (i.e. JPEG), you will lose image quality each time you do this. It's very much like the old "generation problem" with analouge audio recordings: the more copies you make, the more loss you have, and the poorer the quality.
Your first run or two is fine, but after a few runs, you will likely notice some image degradation.
