No matter whether the video is intended for playing on the computer, DVD player or devices like iPod or the PlayStation, 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.
Start Successfully 1.4 Working With Nero Recode Despite its wide range of features, Nero Recode is an easy-to-use recoding program that recodes videos in just a few steps: First, choose the video you want to recode. As Nero Recode is source based, choose the medium (disc or file) where the video is located or simply add it by dragging & dropping it to the main screen. Then select the target format by choosing the device and a profile.

Edit Profile Window with the available bit rate. High quality (2-pass): The video undergoes several conversion passes. The resulting quality is better, but the process takes longer. The first pass analyzes the video and creates a temporary file (*log). The second pass converts the video. During this process, the bit rate data that was stored in the temporary files is used. Only available if 1- or 2-pass encoding is possible for the selected codec.
Edit Profile Window even and odd half images simultaneously. This way, one half image fills in the lines missing from the other half image. The Weave deinterlacing method is appropriate if both half images originate from the same point in time and can be interlaced inconspicuously. Blend: Consecutive interlaced fields are combined and then averaged together. This is very fast, but image details in the vertical axis may be removed. So called ghost artifacts may also occur and resolution may be lost.
Edit Profile Window Encoder Settings 6.2.1 General Settings Tab On the General Settings tab in the Encoder Settings window you can change the general encoding settings. With the settings in the Psychovisual enhancements area, you can use human perception patterns to achieve better overall quality. This means, for example, that the quality is better in the middle of the picture than at the outer edges because the eyes tend to focus on the middle and do not notice slight blurring at the edge.
Edit Profile Window The following options are available in the Video sequence properties area: Drop-down menu Max. reference frames Specifies how many frames from which a P-frame or B-frame may query information. Input field Max. keyframe interval Defines the range for the size of the GOP.
Edit Profile Window Check box CABAC Check box Weighted prediction Uses the Context Adaptive Binary Arithmetic Coding encoding method. This provides great quality along with lossless compression, but demands high computer power. If this check box is selected, reference frames can be re-weighted during motion predictions. This increases the encoding efficiency especially during cross fading.
Edit Profile Window Check box Quarter pixel precision Check box Global motion compensation If this check box is selected, a quarter of a pixel instead of a pixel is used for motion estimation and compensation. The movement across the frame will be more accurate. This option often improves the quality. However, older standalone DVD players may not be able to playback files encoded with this option. If this check box is selected, the encoder tries to compensate for camera movement.
