About Nero Recode 2 8

The Nero Recode 2 interface

2.1 Introduction

Nero Recode 2 is not only available as a full version, but also in a bundle with a CD/DVD recorder in the Nero Recode 2 CE or Nero Recode 2 SE versions. These differ from the full version in the scale of functions they offer, in other words they cannot perform all the tasks described in this manual and the user interface is adapted to the specific version. The Nero Recode 2 interface is independent of the chosen task. This means that there are different commands present on the different interfaces. The individual interfaces are described in the order they appear in the selection area of the start window.
The Nero Recode 2 interface 9
2.2 Copying an entire DVD
With Nero Recode 2 CE, it is not possible to recode a complete DVD and/or the main feature film onto a DVD disc. A DVD may not only contain video files that can be played on a DVD player but also other kinds of data. This data cannot be played on a normal commercially available DVD player but only on a DVD-ROM/DVD burner drive in a computer. When copying a DVD, Nero Recode 2 is capable of copying both the video as well as the data contents. Of course, you can just copy the video element if you wish. You will reach the area for copying an entire DVD by clicking on 'Recode an Entire DVD to DVD' in the start window.

The Nero Recode 2 interface 12
If a red bar appears in the indicator, the amount of data is larger than the capacity of the disc.
Clicking on the '?' button will tell you more about Nero Recode 2. If you have installed Nero Recode 2 CE without Nero SmartStart, you can enter the serial number in the area that now opens.

DVD data

By clicking on 'DVD Data Files' you will move to the Nero Recode 2 data area.
In contrast to the video area, the following elements are present in the 'DVD Data Files' area.
You can open a dialog to import the selected data files by clicking on the 'Add Files' button.
The Nero Recode 2 interface 13
This button is only enabled if a data file is present. Clicking on the 'Delete' button will remove any data files that have been added.
Clicking on this icon will start a dialog to let you name a folder to be created in the data section of the disc.
This icon is only enabled in a subordinate folder. If you click on this icon, the contents of the parent folder will be displayed.
Clicking on this dropdown button will open a menu and let you choose how the available files will be displayed in the folders.
2.3 Creating your own DVD
With the Nero Recode 2 CE and Nero Recode 2 SE it is not possible to compile your own new DVDs by importing and recoding DVD titles. With Nero Recode 2 you can quickly and easily create a new DVD from DVDVideo titles (provided they are not copy-protected). This allows you to burn a 'Best of' DVD from existing DVD-Video titles and data files. Naturally enough, you can remove any subtitles and audio tracks that you do not want, just like when copying a DVD. You will reach the area for creating your own DVDs by clicking on 'Remake a DVD' in the start window.
The Nero Recode 2 interface 14
After clicking on the 'Remake a DVD' field in the start window, the DVD-Video area of the compilation window for your own DVDs will open.
In contrast to the copy window for a DVD, the following new buttons are present in this compilation window.
This button is only enabled if a DVD-Video title has been imported. Clicking on the 'Start / End' button will open a window in which the titles can be shortened you must specify the first and last frame. You can find more detailed information on shortening DVD-Videos in the 'Shortening videos' section.

The Nero Recode 2 interface 18
By clicking on 'DVD Data Files', you will jump to the Nero Recode 2 data area. In contrast to the data window in the copy area, this window does not contain any new areas and buttons and so it is not described in further detail here.
The Nero Recode 2 interface 19

2.5 Advanced display

Clicking on the 'More' button will extend the Nero Recode 2 user interface.
Additional options are available in the Nero Recode 2 advanced display mode. You can use it to adapt the program to your personal needs and to start other functions related to DVDs. The content of this area depends on the element of Nero Recode 2 where you clicked on the 'More' button. The following diagram shows the field where all the profiles and commands are displayed.
Selecting an import profile
This area allows you to select the profile you want, the settings of which will determine the result of the finished DVD. A special explanation is provided of how to specify a profile. Please read the following section on 'Creating an import profile'.
You can change the profile by clicking on the dropdown button and selecting the chosen import profile.
The Nero Recode 2 interface 20
Selecting a Nero Digital profile
Not all Nero Digital profiles are available in the Nero Recode 2 CE version.
This profile is only available when the 'Recode DVDs and videos to Nero Digital', or the 'Recode Main Movie to Nero Digital' task has been chosen. This area allows you to select the desired conversion profile. Depending on the purpose of the converted DVD title, the size of the final result can vary.
You can change the profile by clicking on the dropdown button and selecting the desired profile.
Above version 2.2, Nero Recode 2 also has AVC profiles (Advanced Video Coding) for encoding to Nero Digital. Compared to non-AVC profiles, either the coding quality is better for identical file sizes, or the file size is smaller for identical coding quality. However, encoding takes more time.
Shutting down the computer once burning has been completed
In the Nero Recode 2 burning dialog, the user can decide whether the computer is to be shut down once the burning procedure is finished.
This check box determines whether or not the computer will be shut down once the burning procedure has been completed. In the default setting, this check box is disabled. In other words, the computer will not be shut down after burning but remains switched on.

4.3 Copying (and changing the DVD structure)
This section explains how you can quickly change the structure of a DVD with Nero Recode 2, so that its contents will fit on a commercially available blank disc after recoding and subsequent burning. This procedure is particularly necessary if the original DVD is bigger than the blank target disc inserted. A separate section will tell you how to burn the copy. Please read the 'Burning a disc' section. With Nero Recode 2 CE, it is not possible to recode a complete DVD and/or the main feature film onto a DVD disc. With Nero Recode 2 SE, it is not possible to recode a complete main film from a DVD.

Importing a DVD

If you do not want to copy the entire contents of the DVD, but only the main feature, choose the 'Recode Main Movie to DVD' task. The 'Recode Main Movie to DVD' command is not available with Nero Recode 2 SE. 1. Start Nero Recode 2 and select 'Recode an Entire DVD to DVD'.

Copying a DVD 42

2. Click on the 'Import DVD' button to select the DVD source.
3. Select the source where the original DVD is located and click on 'OK' to confirm your selection and to close the window. The source can be either a drive or a folder on your hard drive. If the source is on your computer you must specify the folder that contains the files.

Copying a DVD 43

After reading the DVD, the Nero Recode window will indicate how much memory the various elements of the DVD (Menu, Main Movie and Extras) will need. If the source DVD is larger than the blank that has been inserted, the window will show how much the DVD will need to be recoded in accordance with the selected profile.
The desired recode settings will be taken over from the profile settings. Click on the 'Next' button to open the burn window, where the recoding and the subsequent burning process will be started. You will find out in the next section (which tells you how to change the structure of a DVD) that Nero Recode 2 can do much more than this.

The German track is in 'Dolby Digital 5.1' format, while the English tracks are in 'Dolby Digital 5.1' and 'Dolby Digital 2 (stereo)' formats. This means that the best sound quality is provided by tracks in 'Dolby Digital 5.1' format and the poorest quality with the English 'Dolby Digital 2 (stereo)' format. As a rule, the following applies: the more memory that is required, the better the sound quality.
1. Start Nero Recode 2, import a DVD and highlight the video title you want. 2. If necessary, highlight the soundtracks to be copied by ticking the corresponding check box. 3. If necessary, de-highlight the soundtracks to be copied, by clearing the corresponding check box.

Converting DVD-Videos and other video files to MPEG-4 files with Nero Digital

6.1 Converting DVD-Video titles and other video files into MPEG-4 format
You can use Nero Digital to convert an existing DVD-Video (one that is not copyprotected) or a video file into the MPEG-4 format. The files made by these means can be played with Nero ShowTime and many other common programs. The special feature of Nero Digital is that it is an audio and video Codec, conforming to the MPEG-4 standard and making use of the new MP4 file format. A separate section will tell you how to burn MPEG-4 files. Please read the 'Burning a disc' section. With the Nero Recode 2 SE version of Nero Digital, it is not possible to convert DVD video titles and other video files into MPEG-4 files. For reasons of clarity, this section only explains how DVD-Video files are converted into the MPEG-4 format. An extra section deals with additional options. 1. Start Nero Recode 2 and click on 'Recode DVDs and Videos to Nero Digital'. If you would not like to recode the entire contents of the DVD in MPEG-4 format (Nero Digital) but solely the main feature, select the 'Recode Main Movie to Nero Digital' option.

9.1 FAQs

9.1.1 The copied DVD does not contain the audio tracks I selected. What did I do wrong?
Nero Recode 2 can only copy audio tracks that are present on the original DVD. If the soundtracks you selected in your import profile are not present on the DVD, they will not have been available on the original, either. Please check the 'Audio' tab to see which soundtracks exist.
The copied DVD does not contain the subtitles I selected. What did I do wrong?
Nero Recode 2 can only copy those subtitles that are present on the original DVD. If the subtitles that you selected in your import profile are not present on the DVD, they will not have been present on the original, either. Please check the 'Subpicture' tab to see which subtitles exist.
The DVD I made does have a DTS soundtrack but I cannot hear any sound. What went wrong during recording?
In order to hear DVDs that have a DTS soundtrack you will need a suitable decoder that can convert the sounds. This decoder may either be integrated in a DVD player or in a receiver. If you cannot hear the DTS soundtrack it is likely that the devices you are using do not support this format.
It takes different lengths of time to recode DVDs, depending on the DVD involved. Why is that?
The more a DVD is recoded before burning, the longer Nero Recode 2 needs to carry out the process.
I have inserted a DVD and want to copy it but Nero Recode 2 does not recognize it. What am I doing wrong?
Nero Recode 2 only copies and recodes DVDs that are not copy-protected. Copy-protected DVDs will not be read by Nero Recode 2. You probably inserted a DVD that was copy-protected.

Recode Main Movie to DVD
Nero Recode allows you to copy the main movie on a DVD without the extras. You can adapt and change the structure of the main movie so that the data can be burned onto a commercial blank disk. Unless you possess the copyright yourself, or at least have the permission of the copyright holder, the unauthorized reproduction of discs may be a breach of national or international law and may lead to severe penalties! The best way to produce a simple 1:1 copy of a DVD is to use Nero Express or Nero Burning ROM. The data is not compressed in this case, so that the blank disk used must have enough space for the content of the original DVD as displayed. For further details on using Nero Express or Nero Burning ROM see the relevant manuals and/or help files.

Nero Digital expert settings
You can define additional settings for the Nero Digital Options in the Burn Settings screen.
You should only change the expert settings if you are sufficiently familiar with the area of video encoding, in particular MPEG-4 encoding. Incorrect settings can have a major negative impact on the quality of the output file

11.1 MPEG-4 terminology

To clarify the options available in expert mode, a number of terms are defined in greater detail below: AVC ASP Advanced Video Coding. Complies with H264 standard. See H264. Advanced Simple Profile. Complies with H263 standard. See H263. Bidirectional coded frame. Only uses the difference information relative to previous and subsequent key frames (I frames). Because only the difference information is used, rather the full frame information, compression is greater. Bidirectional coded Video Object Plane (see B-Frame). VOP is only referred to in the context of coding in the H263 standard. Context Adaptive Binary Arithmetic Coding. The name of a process for arithmetically coding digital video data as part of coding standard MPEG-4 AVC and H.264. Process in which data is compressed so that it needs less storage space and shorter transmission times in data networks. Enhanced Predictive Zonal Search. An algorithm for finding motion in video sequences. Group Of Pictures. The interval from one I-Frame to the next. ITU standard for video decoding and compression. Video compression standard which uses a similar approach to MPEG-2, but is much more efficient. Intra coded Frame. Contains the complete integral information for a particular frame. Intra coded Video Object Plane. See I-Frame. VOP is only referred to in the context of coding in the H263 standard. Horizontal skip process. Used when recording, processing and displaying images. Mainly used for displaying television signals on receivers based on the CRT principle. International Organization for Standardization. International Telecommunication Union. See I-Frame.

Data compression EPZS GOP H264 H263 I-Frame I-VOP Interlace ISO ITU Keyframe

Macroblock

A macroblock describes 16 x 16 pixels and is the elementary unit in the MPEG standard on which motion coding is also based. A matrix is a rectangular pattern whose elements are usually numbers, although they can be other mathematical elements such as variables of functions. It consists of m lines and n columns. In relation to qualification: the values in the matrix are factors that control the value of the compression. The higher the number the greater the compression. Motion estimation/ motion search. An MPEG standard (ISO/IEC-14496) that describes the process of video and audio compression, among other things. Video compression is divided into MPEG-4 AVC (see H264) and MPEG-4 SP/ASP (see H263). Not Coded. Predictive Frame. Uses only the difference information relative to the previous and subsequent key images (I-Frames). Because only the different information is used, not the complete image information, the degree of compression is greater. Predicted Video Object Plane. See P-Frame. VOP is only referred to in the context of coding in the H263 standard. Prediction/estimate General: The generation of a digital signal from an analog signal.

Quantization
In video compression: Quantization controls the degree of compression. It involves the reduction of the value range by a division-type operation. Interference in image or sound. Generally an interfering parameter with a broad, unspecified frequency spectrum. It can thus be interpreted as the overlayering of numerous oscillations or waves of varying amplitude and frequency or wave length. See I-Frame. A video frame. This is how a frame is referred to in the context of MPEG-4 SP/ASP.

11.2 MPEG-4 profiles

MPEG-4 SP/ASP is mainly available in two different profiles, Simple Profile (SP) and Advanced Simple Profile (ASP). Nero Recode allows you to choose the profile in which the files are to be output (see Simple Profile (QuickTime compatible)). The functions are supported by the various profiles as follows: Functionality Profile Simple I-Frame P-Frame B-Frame AC/DC Prediction 4 motion vectors per macroblock / unlimited motion vectors H.263 / MPEG quantization Global Motion Compensation Interlace process x x x x Advanced Simple x x x x x x x x
Various entries are available for selection in the Profile area in the navigation tree. The entries under the MPEG-4 encoder main point are explained below. The option for changing settings depends on the selection made in the Nero Digital Profile and Nero Digital Category drop-down list. Some selection options cannot be changed and are therefore grayed out.

Seite 49

11.2.3.3

Scene cut

If you check the Scene cut box, you can use the control to set the sensitivity with which the encoder detects scene changes. For efficiency, it inserts keyframes at these points whose information is used by the P- and B-VOPs. This is necessary in scenes involving a lot of fast movement in order to reproduce the details of the picture accurately. We advise a central control setting because inserting too many keyframes is inefficient.

11.2.3.4

Fast ME
The Fast ME setting speeds up the encoding process by accelerating motion prediction.

11.2.3.5

Low/High noise
The Low/High noise setting requires you to judge for yourself whether your source features minor or major interference. If your source does have such interference, you should check the corresponding box. The encoder will then try to resolve the problems during encoding.

11.2.3.6

High B-VOP quantization
If you check the High B-VOP quantization box, you will increase the quantization of the BVOPs. The increase in quantization will improve the compression of the output file, making it smaller. However, this also means a reduction in quality This option is only relevant if B-VOPs are permitted in the Advanced entry (see Advanced).

11.2.3.7

Rate distortion optimization
The Rate distortion optimization setting enables the encoder to guarantee the ratio between quality and targeted compression level with automatic decisions.

11.2.3.8

Maximum MV range
The Maximum MV range drop-down list allows you to use predefined values to set the maximum range for motion vectors.

11.2.3.9

Psycho visual quality level
The Psycho visual quality level setting uses human perception patterns to achieve better overall quality. This means, for example, that the quality is better in the middle of the frame than at the edges because the eyes tend to focus more on the middle and a slight lack of detail on the edge will not be noticed. Because quality is "saved" on the edge, it is possible either to improve the overall quality or to increase compression.

11.2.4 Advanced

You can make further settings relating to various areas of the encoding in the Advanced entry. These are explained below. These setting options are only available if you have selected Nero Digital, Sony Memory Stick-Video or Apple iPod in the Nero Digital category.

Seite 50

11.2.4.1
Simple Profile (QuickTime compatible)
If you check the Simple profile box, a number of options in expert mode are grayed out and cannot be changed. The output file is thus encoded in the MPEG-4 simple profile (see MPEG-4 profiles).

11.2.4.2

11.2.5 Keyframes

The Keyframes entry allows you to set the intervals between keyframes. These setting options are only available if you have selected Nero Digital, Sony Memory Stick-Video or Apple iPod in the Nero Digital category

11.2.5.1

Smallest/largest keyframe interval
The Keyframe Interval setting defines the maximum and minimum values for the GOP size. Remember that the value for the largest interval may not be greater than 300, but should not be set too low either because the coding efficiency at other locations can become poorer if there are too many keyframes.

11.2.6 Matrices

The user can edit existing qualification matrices or upload their own matrices under Matrices. The matrices determine how the various frequencies in the macroblocks are displayed. These setting options are only available if you have selected Nero Digital, Sony Memory Stick-Video or Apple iPod in the Nero Digital category

11.2.6.1

The matrix in the Intra entry is responsible for the quantization of I macroblocks because this is intracoded.

11.2.6.2

The matrix in the Inter entry is responsible for the quantization of P and B macroblocks because these are intercoded.

Seite 52

11.2.7 AVC Encoder
The AVC (Advanced Video Encoding) entry and its subentries can be used to make AVC encoding settings for your data. 11.2.7.1

Thread Count

Nero Recode supports multi-core processors. If you have one of these, you can distribute the encoding process to the required number of threads.
The Thread Count drop-down list allows you to choose whether to allow the encoding process to be performed by several threads. This means that you can use a multi-core processor system to optimum effect. The number of processor cores used corresponds to the number of threads you have selected.

11.2.8 Bitrate mode

The Bitrate mode entry can be used to make settings in relation to the bit rate mode and quantization (see Encoding mode).

11.2.9 General settings

The General Settings entry is used to make settings for the Decision Quality, the Motion Vectors and the GOP Properties. These setting options are only available if you have selected Nero Digital AVC in the Nero Digital category.
