1.3 Versions of Nero Recode
Nero Recode is available as part of Nero 11, Nero 11 Platinum, and Nero Video Platinum.
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.
mp3PRO Plug-in
You will need the mp3PRO Plug-in for unlimited MP3 and mp3PRO
encoding/decoding.
The plug-in can be added to Nero 11. 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. The icon offers you upgrade possibilities.
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. Supported devices
are for example DVD player, PlayStation, iPhone and of course your computer. Nero
Recode automatically offers you the best fitting profile which includes recoding and
output format settings.
 Select further options if required. For example you can change the profile settings to fit
your advanced wishes.
 Add the recoding job to the job list by clicking the OK button.
 At last simply start the recoding process by clicking the Start encoding button.
