Recode is a new feature from Nero that enables users to fit a whole film on a normal DVD blank (4.7GB) without suffering terrible compression rates. Recode does this by removing unwanted material (e.g. foreign language sound tracks or bonus material) from the DVD (9 GB). Then the film is converted, but this time with an optimized bit rate so that it fits on a normal blank (4.8 GB).
Nero Recode follows three basic steps:
1) First you import the complete contents of non-copy protected DVD-Video discs or DVD-Video file structures from your harddrive.
2) After the DVD title is scanned and analysed you can select the video, audio and subtitle content that you really want to keep, control the quality of the video content that needs to be recoded, and even add your own data files.
3) Then you can recode and burn a new DVD-Video to DVD disc, DVD image file or hard drive folder in one easy step. The recoded DVD will keep the menu navigation of the source DVD-Video for that perfect look and feel.
