Can Vegas render a video input file without decoding it?

What I mean is if you have a wmv file on the timeline and renders it to the same format, size etc.- can Vegas then do this without decoding/encoding it? just by some copying?
I mean if you have converted your #%&§ AVCHD files to wmv - then it would be nice if the quality was not degraded a second time through a second decode/encode.
