1.2 About Nero Recode
Nero Recode can be used to copy and archive non-copy protected DVD videos onto a DVD.
If the source video is larger than 4.7 GB, it is compressed to fit on a single-layer DVD without
loss of quality.
Nero Recode also allows you to exclude data from the source DVD that you do not need to
copy (including subtitles and audio tracks), making space for additional videos or a higher
quality of videos. The target DVD can also be written to the hard drive as a DVD video index
or as a so-called disc image.
Of course, you can also compile contents from different (non-copy protected) DVDs, export
them to the innovative Nero Digital™ MPEG-4/H.264 AVC format and burn them to create
your own collection.
No matter whether the video is intended for playing on mobile devices or HDTV, the various
export profiles allow you to adjust the output format to your requirements - and you will al-
ways receive the best quality for your respective file size thanks to the various export pro-
files.
So, Nero Recode lets you copy, recompile, and recode the contents of DVs and DVDs and
then to burn the results onto disc.
