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

(including subtitles or soundtracks) thereby making space for additional videos or for better

video 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.
