Recoding a main movie to Nero Digital™
Nero Recode Page 49
Encoding method
Selects the method to be used to encode the MPEG-4 file.
With Fast (1-pass) Nero Recode performs one conversion
step. This method takes less time, but the quality is lower
than 2-step encoding.
With High quality (2-pass) Nero Recode performs two con-
version steps. 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
Shows the quality. The higher the number, the better the quality of
the file recoded with Nero Recode.
10.2 Recoding
To recode a main movie to Nero Digital™, proceed as follows:
1. Start Nero Recode (see Launching Nero Recode via Nero StartSmart).
2. Select the Recode Main Movie to Nero Digital™ task in the Nero Recode start screen.
Æ The My Nero Digital™ Movie Backup screen is displayed.
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 DVD button.
Æ The Find Folder dialog box opens.
7. Select the drive or hard drive folder containing the DVD that you want to recode and click the
OK button.
Æ You have imported the main movie on the DVD.
The capacity bar at the bottom of the screen shows how much memory the imported
files use. If the imported files are larger than the target medium, the central area of the
Nero Digital™ Titles tab shows how the files will be recoded in line with the selected
profile.
8. If you wish to modify the video settings, click the Settings button on the Video tab (see
Defining video settings).
