3.4.2 Quality Settings

The following options are available:

Quality slider

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

preselected setting provides you optimal balance between file size

and quality.

In order to adjust the quality individually, you can move the slider.

Check box

Fit to target

Recodes the imported content automatically in such a way that the

output size fits the target size that you select or enter here.

This is done by reducing or increasing the quality of the video (video

bit rate) automatically. If the selected target size is the same size as

the source, a 1:1 copy is made. If you have removed video content,

then Nero Recode increases the quality of the output video (video bit

rate) automatically to fit to the selected target size.

If this entry is selected, the editable drop-down menu Fit to target is

available.

Editable drop-down

Fit to target

Defines the target size:

4403 (DVD5): Content fits onto a DVD5 with 4.7 GB (4403 MB)

8089 (DVD9): Content fits onto a DVD9 with 8.5 GB (8089 MB)

You can also enter a custom value in MB for the target size.

Note that it is not in every case possible to achieve the target size as

the video cannot compressed any more and you have to deselect

titles, audio or subtitles to achieve your wished target size.

If the desired target size is too large to be burned on a DVD, we

recommend that you save the resulting DVD structure to hard drive

(Target drop-down menu > Save to hard drive) and play it from the

hard drive with Nero MediaHome, for example.
