Converting Video Files

Nero Recode

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 example, can be

lowered at quieter points in the track.

Average bit rate (ABR): Specifies an average 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 but the average bit rate tends to the

defined value. In principle is it a variable bit rate with a limited bit

band width and thus combining the advantages of the variable and

the constant bit rate.

Quality

Defines the quality level if VBR is used for bit rate mode. You can

set the variable bit rate between 0 and 1. 0 means the lowest, 1 the

highest quality.

Compression

Defines the compression rate for lossless codecs.

Sampling rate

Selects the scan rate. The scan rate is the frequency that a signal is

scanned per time interval. If you choose Automatic, Nero Recode

sets the sampling rate as close as possible to the original value.

The values available are determined by the audio format you have

selected.

Audio channels

Defines the audio channels of the output. You can select a down

mixing of the audio channels, but no up mixing. If you choose Au-

tomatic, Nero Recode sets the channel as close as possible to the

original setting.

The values available are determined by the audio format you have

selected.

Bit per sample

Specifies the scan accuracy and thus determines the quality of the

individual scanner. The higher the bit sign, the more accurate.

Only available for WAVE.

The following options are available on the Video tab:

Check box

Change quality

settings for this

video only

Activates the quality slider and the bit rate options in order to change

the output settings for this video only.

Quality slider

Defines and displays the output quality in terms of video bit rate. A

default video bit rate is preselected by a calculation. The default bit

rate provides you good quality.
