1 About Nero Recode 2
1.1 What is Nero Recode 2?
Nero Recode 2 is a program that performs different tasks in connection with
DVD-Video titles and other video files that are not copy-protected.
1.1.1 Nero Recode 2 as a copying program
Nero Recode 2 is a program for copying and archiving DVD-Video titles that are
not copy-protected onto a DVD+R/RW, DVD-R/RW or DVD-RAM disc.
If the source DVD is larger than the target DVD, Nero Recode 2 can compress
the contents of the source DVD so that they pass on to an empty DVD disc –
normally without any noticeable loss of quality.
In addition, you can remove soundtracks and subtitles with Nero Recode 2 in
order to achieve maximum image quality, for example. What is special is that
even the DVD menu of the source DVD remains complete if individual titles have
been removed. The target DVD can alternatively be written on the hard disk in
the form of a DVD-Video directory - or as a so-called disk image on the hard
drive.
1.1.2 Nero Recode 2 as a compilation program
Nero Recode 2 is a program for compiling DVD-Video titles and other video files
(that are not copy-protected) onto other media (CD and DVD).
If you have DVD-Video titles or other video files on different DVDs and would like
to compile your favorite titles onto one DVD, you can use Nero Recode 2 to have
the desired DVD-Video titles in a new compilation which you can then 'burn'. It
does not matter whether you burn the compilation on a DVD or a CD.
1.1.3 Nero Recode 2 as a conversion program
Nero Recode 2 is a program you can use to convert DVD-Video titles and other
video files that are not copy-protected into the Nero Digital format (MPEG-4)
and to burn them onto discs.
