1.2 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.

Indicates additional information or advice.

The number at the beginning of a line indicates a prompt for action. Carry out these actions in the order specified.

Nero Recode

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

mp3PRO Plug-in

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.

1.3 Versions of Nero Recode

Nero Recode is available as part of Nero 2014, Nero 2014 Platinum, and as a standalone product (Nero Recode 2014).

The standalone Nero Recode 2014 and Nero Recode in Nero 2014 Platinum offer the following extra features, compared to Nero Recode in Nero 2014:

 Rip and convert Blu-ray Video disc and 3D Blu-ray Video disc

 Import and convert Ultra HD files (4 K)

Nero Recode is available in different versions with a varying feature range. Depending on the Nero product you purchased, your version of Nero Recode may be limited and may not include the full feature range.

For example, a watermark may appear in the encoded videos in Nero Recode Essentials. In addition, the encoding and decoding formats are restricted and the encoding length is limited to one minute. The mp3PRO plug-in is included as trial version.

Start Successfully

You will need the mp3PRO Plug-in for unlimited MP3 and mp3PRO encoding/decoding.

The plug-in can be added to Nero 2014. You can obtain the plug-in at

www.nero.com. The plug-in is already included in the full version.

If you have a limited version of Nero Recode without the features mentioned here, you can upgrade your Nero product at www.nero.com

to get the full version of Nero Recode with all

features.

Features that are not available in Nero Recode Essentials may be indicated by the icon

or with an information window. Both the icon and the information window offers you upgrade possibilities.

 Then select the target format by choosing the device. Supported devices are for example

DVD player, tablets, smartphones, game consoles, and of course your computer. Nero Recode automatically offers you the best fitting recoding and output format settings.

3.1 Recoding Video Disc to Video File

Ripping and converting of Blu-ray Video discs and 3D Blu-ray Video discs is only available with Nero Recode as part of Nero 2014 Platinum.

With Nero Recode you can recode a Blu-ray or a DVD-Video to a video file. You can use Nero Recode to adjust the quality to ensure video files with perfect video quality that fits your needs. You also have the possibility to crop, trim and rotate the video.

Nero Recode supports many different target devices, such as your PC, tablet, smartphone, home entertainment devices (game console and TV), and audio player.

The recoded video file is stored on hard drive. If you want to use the file on a device like your mobile device, you can either store it directly on the device (if technically possible), or transfer it afterwards to the device (for example using Nero MediaHome).

Instead of Blu-ray Video you can also choose an AVCHD as source video. If your Blu-ray Video contains 3D material, it will be converted to 2D.

3.4 Recode DVD/Blu-ray/AVCHD Screen

In the Recode [Disc] screen you define the output. This is basically done by choosing the target device. Each device contains encoding settings that are optimized for a specific output format on the chosen specific device.

You can also play back the target video, change the encoding settings and specify the target path. When the video disc is recoded to video file, you can additionally crop, trim, and rotate the video, and define the file name.

For recoding DVD-Video to DVD-Video three target options are available: The video can be burned, saved as an image file or saved to hard drive as VIDEO_TS folder.

The screen is basically divided into two areas: A left area with edit options for the output (device, quality and target) and a right area with target and source information, individual output settings and ripping options.
