When copying a DVD, including the menu, you can use Nero Recode to adjust and modify the structure of a DVD in such a way that the data can be written to a conventional recordable disc with perfect video quality. You can remove undesired subtitles or audio tracks.
To recode a DVD, proceed as follows:
- 1.
- Choose the Recode an Entire DVD to DVD task from the Nero Recode main window.
- à
- The My DVD Backup screen is displayed.
- 2.
- Insert the DVD you want to recode in the disc drive on your PC.
|
Keep in mind that the Fit to target check box is enabled so that the content of the source DVD can be recoded during the subsequent process in such a way that it fits the selected target format.
If the check box is disabled, the DVD-Video will be imported in its original size. In this case, it is possible that the data volume will be so large that you will only be able to store it on a double-layer DVD or on the hard drive.
