1.1. About Nero Recode

Nero Recode is a powerful application for ripping non-copy-protected DVD-Videos, Blu-

ray Videos, and AVCHD, as well as for converting video files. Video files can be imported

from your hard drive or even from the Internet.

Ripping DVD-Video is the functionality Nero Recode is known for. It allows you to make

copies from an unprotected DVD either in the original size and quality or with a reduced

size and quality to fit to another disc size (so called shrinking). You can exclude unwanted

content of the source disc not to be included on the target disc (for example subtitles or

soundtracks from a DVD-Video) thereby making space for additional content or for better

quality.

Blu-ray Videos can be converted to video files. In order to use non-2D-compliant video

material, for example a 3D video, on any 2D system, you can convert it to a 2D video.

It is also possible to crop, trim and rotate the video, when converting to video file.

No matter whether the video is intended for playing on the computer, DVD player or

devices like tablet, smartphone or game console, the export profiles allow converting into

the format that is required by the chosen device - and you always get the best quality for

your respective file size thanks to the various export profiles. Of course you can adjust the

output format to your requirements. You can even just rip the audio part of a video as

well as convert audio files.

Nero Recode is the perfect companion for optimizing content from digital devices for a

high quality home viewing experience, and video sharing.
