6 Converting DVD-Videos to MPEG-4
files with Nero Digital
6.1 Converting DVD-Video titles into MPEG-4 format
You can use Nero Digital to convert an existing DVD-Video (one that is not copy-
protected) into the MPEG-4 format. The files made by these means can be
played with Nero ShowTime and many other common programs. The special
feature of Nero Digital is that it is an audio and video Codec, conforming to the
MPEG-4 standard and making use of the new MP4 file format. A separate section
will tell you how to burn MPEG-4 files. Please read the 'Burning a disc' section.
For reasons of clarity, this section only explains how DVD-Videos are converted
into the MPEG-4 format. An extra section deals with additional options.
1. Start Nero Recode 2 and click on 'Copy DVD to Nero Digital'.
2. Insert the DVD that contains the desired title(s).
