1.4 Working With Nero Recode
Despite its wide range of features, Nero Recode is an easy-to-use recoding program that
recodes videos in just a few steps:
First, choose the media file you want to recode. As Nero Recode is source based,
choose the medium (disc or file) where the video or audio is located or simply add it by
dragging & dropping it to the main screen.
Then select the target format by choosing the device. Supported devices are for example
DVD player, tablets, smartphones, game consoles, and of course your computer. Nero
Recode automatically offers you the best fitting recoding and output format settings.
Select further options if required. For example you can change the recoding settings to fit
your advanced wishes.
Add the recoding job to the job list by clicking the OK button.
At last simply start the recoding process by clicking the Start Encoding button.
Note that the screens in Nero Recode are workbased. This means they may
change their content and parts of their appearance dynamically to adapt
themselves in real-time to the selections you made in the same screen.
Each screen contains tooltips, detailed information and explanations for the
buttons, icons and menus. Hover the mouse pointer over a control element for a
few seconds to see the tool tip.
The best way to create a simple 1:1 copy of a DVD is by using Nero Express or
Nero Burning ROM. There is no compression whatsoever in this case. The
recordable disc used must have as much free disc space as is shown for the
content of the original DVD.
You can find detailed instructions on how to work with the application in the
separate Nero Express and Nero Burning ROM user manuals.
