1.2 About This Application
Nero Recode allows you to copy non-copy-protected DVD videos to DVD, which is a method
of archiving your content. If the source video is larger than 4.7 GB, it is compressed to fit on
a single-layer DVD without loss of quality.
You can also exclude unwanted material on the source DVD from the copying process (in-
cluding subtitles or soundtracks) thereby making space for additional videos or for better vi-
deo quality. The target DVD can also be written to the hard drive as a DVD video index or as
a so-called disc image.
Of course, you can also compile content from different (non-copy protected) DVDs, export
them to the innovative Nero Digital MPEG-4
/H.264 AVC format and burn them to create your
own collection.
No matter whether the video is intended for playing on mobile devices or HDTV, the various
export profiles allow you to adjust the output format to your requirements - and you always
get the best quality for your respective file size thanks to the various export profiles.
Thus, Nero Recode lets you copy, recompile, and recode the content of DVs and DVDs and
then to burn the results to disc.
