Nero RECODE COPY DVD TO NERO DIGITAL HOW TO GUIDE

How to use Nero Recodes ‘Remake a DVD’ feature

(Important Note: Nero Recode will only work with VOB, IFO, and BUP files that you will normally
find located in a ‘Video_TS’ folder contained on a DVD-Video DVD, or stored on your Hard Drive.
Nero Recode will also not be able to read/obtain these files from a ‘Protected’ DVD-Video DVD,
such as you find when you purchase or rent a commercial DVD. Only unprotected DVD’s can be
accessed and used by Nero Recode directly. Programs such as ‘NeroVision Express 2’ can
create VOB, IFO, and BUP files in a folder called ‘Video_TS’ on your Hard Drive or onto a DVD­Video DVD, from source files such as MPEG, AVI, WMV, ASF, MP4, DV, etc. You can then use
these VOB, IFO, and BUP files with Nero Recode.)

‘Video_TS’ folder from a Non-Protected DVD-Video DVD. Once you have highlighted
your selection, click on the ‘OK’ button.

8. This will bring up the ‘Analyzing’ window. This only comes up the first time a source is

analyzed by Nero Recode. You can preview the source video while it’s being analyzed to
insure it’s the video you wish to work with. And there is a graphical display window that

11. This brings you back to the ‘My Own DVD Compilation’ window. But as we can see

from the bar chart at the bottom of the window that shows in RED, we have exceeded the
capacity of the media we are about to write too. And still be able to create a DVD-Video
with acceptable quality for playback. So we will need to cut some video out to make this
fit. Most movies will have Credits and other information at the beginning that you can
remove without affecting the main movie. You can remove these by using the

button. Click on this button now.
