1.2 About Nero Recode
Nero Recode is a powerful application for ripping non-copy-protected DVD-Videos, Blu-ray
Videos, and AVCHD, as well as for converting video files. Video files can be imported from
your hard drive or even from the Internet.
Ripping DVD-Video is the functionality Nero Recode is known for. It allows you to make cop-
ies 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.
Blu-ray Videos can be converted to video files. In order to use non-2D-compliant video mate-
rial, for example a 3D video, on any 2D system, you can convert it to a 2D video.
