1.2 About Nero Recode
Nero Recode is a powerful application for ripping non-copy-protected DVD-Videos as well as
for converting video files.
Ripping DVD-Video is the functionality Nero Recode is known for. It allows you to make
copies from an unprotected DVD either in the original size and quality or with a reduced size
and quality to fit to another disc size (so called shrinking). You can exclude unwanted
content of the source disc not to be included on the target disc (for example subtitles or
soundtracks from a DVD-Video) thereby making space for additional content or for better
quality.
No matter whether the video is intended for playing on the computer, DVD player or devices
like iPod or the PlayStation, the export profiles allow converting into the format that is
required by the chosen device - and you always get the best quality for your respective file
size thanks to the various export profiles. Of course you can adjust the output format to your
requirements. You can even just rip the audio part of a video.
