The selected device defines which encoding settings and targets can be

The following options are available:

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
menu
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 anymore and you have to deselect titles, audio or
subtitles to achieve your wished target size.
