Nero Digital™
Category

Nero Digital™ Pro-
file
Changes the Nero Digital™ profile. The setting relates to the
target medium for which encoding is being carried out.
Encoding Method

With Fast (1-pass), Nero Recode performs one conversion
step. This method requires less time, but the resulting quality
is less than encoding in two steps.
Nero Recode performs two conversion steps with High Qual-
ity (2-pass). The quality is better, but the process takes
longer.
The following information is listed in the columns in the upper section of the Nero Digital™
Titles tab.
Content
Shows the structure contained on the DVD.
Duration
Shows the length of the relevant area.
Size
Shows the size of the relevant area.
Video Quality

the file recoded with Nero Recode.
9.2 Recoding
To recode a DVD or video to Nero Digital™, proceed as follows:
1. Start Nero Recode (see Launching Nero Recode via Nero StartSmart).
2. Select the Recode DVDs and Videos to Nero Digital™ task in the Nero Recode start
screen.
Æ The My Nero Digital™ Disc screen appears.
3. Insert the DVD you want to recode in the DVD drive on your PC.
4. Check the Fit to target box.
Æ The contents of the source DVD are then recoded to fit the target format selected in the
drop-down menu Fit to target.
If the Fit to target box is not checked, the DVD-Video is imported in its original size. In this
case the volume of data can be so great that it can only be burned onto a double-layer
DVD or saved on the hard drive.
5. Select the required import profile in the Title import profile area (see Title import profile
area
).
6. Click the Import Files button.
Æ The Import Titles dialog box opens.
