MediaHub and in other common programs.
Copyright
Unless you possess the copyright yourself, or at least have the permission of the
copyright holder, the unauthorized reproduction of discs may be a breach of
national or international law and may lead to severe penalties!
To recode a DVD or video to Nero Digital, proceed as follows:
1. Choose the Recode DVDs and Videos to Nero Digital task in the Nero Recode main
window.
 The My Nero Digital Disc screen is displayed.
2. Insert the DVD you want to recode in the disc drive on your PC.
Keep in mind that the Fit to target check box is enabled so that the content of the
source DVD can be recoded during the subsequent process in such a way that it
fits the selected target format.
If the check box is disabled, the DVD-Video will be imported in its original size. In
this case, it is possible that the data volume will be so large that you will only be
able to store it on a double-layer DVD or on the hard drive.
3. Select the required import profile in the Title import profile area.
4. Click the Import Files button.
 The Import Titles window is opened.
5. Select the video titles that you want to recode and click the Add titles button.
 The selected video files are imported and displayed in the content area.
If the source files are larger than the target media, you can also see how the files are
recoded according to the selected profile here.
Underneath, the capacity bar shows how much disk space is taken up by the imported
files on the disc graphically.
6. If you want to delete a single video title:
1. Select the required video title.
2. Click the Erase button.
 The video title is removed from the compilation.
7. If you want to lock an individual video title to protect it from loss of quality during recoding:
1. Select the required video title.
2. Click the Lock Ratio button.
 The video title is locked.
