video files to MPEG-4 files with Nero
Digital
6.1 Converting DVD-Video titles and other video files
into MPEG-4 format
You can use Nero Digital to convert an existing DVD-Video (one that is not copy-
protected) or a video file 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.
With the Nero Recode 2 SE version of Nero Digital, it is not possible to convert
DVD video titles and other video files into MPEG-4 files.
For reasons of clarity, this section only explains how DVD-Video files are
converted into the MPEG-4 format. An extra section deals with additional options.
1. Start Nero Recode 2 and click on 'Recode DVDs and Videos to Nero Digital'.
If you would not like to recode the entire contents of the DVD in MPEG-4 format
(Nero Digital) but solely the main feature, select the 'Recode Main Movie to Nero
Digital' option.
