Nero Recode Manual

4.5.2. Output Settings

The To which quality area is only available for recoding to video file.

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 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.

This drop-down menu is only available, if the check box Fit to target is

selected.

The following check box is available in the To which quality area if there is a GPU available

on your system:

If enabled, Nero Recode uses 3rd party encoder for H.264/AVC encoding

appropriate to the system (ATI encoder for ATI GPU, Nvidia encoder for

Nvidia GPU and Intel encoder for Intel GPU). If disabled, Nero Recode uses

Nero encoder for H.264/AVC encoding.

3rd party encoders are deployed by the vendor driver installation.

If video setting options are not supported by the selected 3rd-party-

encoder, they are automatically disabled by Nero Recode.
