Encoding Video Files

Nero Recode

Mode: Custom screen, Recoding DVD-Video to video file

For recoding DVD-Video or Blu-ray video to video file or to audio file, the audio codec area is

available for the single audio tracks. You can open it via the triangle button on the right side

of an audio track. The following options are in general available, depending on the chosen

profile:

File extension

Defines the file extension for the audio used by the profile.

Only available for audio only profiles.

Codec

Selects the audio codec used for the output audio format.

For the DVD profile only the entry Selected audio is available.

It refers to audio selection made in the mode for the DVD-Video.

AC3 and DTS are only available for pass-through!

Bit rate mode

Defines what kind of bit rate the audio codec is using.

Constant bit rate (CBR): Specifies a constant bit rate, i.e., the

data flow per unit of time and thus the quantity of the saved data

is the same over the entire audio file.

Variable bit rate (VBR): Specifies a variable bit rate, i.e., the

data flow per unit of time and thus the quantity of the saved data

adapts to the dynamics of the audio file. The bit rate, for exam-

ple, can be lowered at quieter points in the track.
