Nero Recode

Check box Analyze files while importing	If this check box is selected, Nero Recode performs an analysis of the video file during the importing process.
Check box Keep interlaced content if possible	If this check box is selected, Nero Recode keeps the interlaced content of a video file, provided that this is possible.
Check box Keep input resolution for interlaced encodings	If this check box is selected, Nero Recode keeps the input resolution of the video file if encoding should be carried out with the interlaced feature. The resolution is not changed and picture edges are not trimmed.
Check box Prefer motion adaptive deinterlacing method	If this check box is selected, Nero Recode selects the motion-adaptive deinterlacing method as the preferred encoding method.  Even quick motion sequences are extremely sharp and detailed. However, burning is slower.
Drop-down menu Default resizing method	Selects the method for changing video resolution.  Bilinear interpolation is selected by default.

Enable classic set of Nero Digital profiles	Activates the classical set of Nero Digital profiles, available in the screens My Nero Digital Disc and My Nero Digital Film Backup in the drop-down menu Nero Digital Profiles.   If the check box is deselected, Nero Digital AVC and Nero Digital Standard are offered.
Auto-close iTunes after iPod transfer	If this check box is selected, iTunes is automatically closed after transcoding into Apple iPod video.
Never write extra track to allow low-memory device playback	If this check box is selected, the creation of a special extra track is prevented. Certified players with low RAM can play long movies.

AVC

Advanced Video Coding is a video compression standard. AVC was developed for maximum encoding efficiency and makes it possible to produce good quality video compression at low bit rates. It is one of the mandatory video compression methods for high-definition television transmissions and for mobile devices (e.g. cell phones, PDA’s).

Bilinear Interpolation

Bilinear interpolation refers to an image processing method. If a picture is enlarged beyond its original size, the resulting new image pixels are calculated based on the average between the four neighboring pixels. The more a picture is enlarged with this method, the less sharp it becomes.

Interlace

The interlacing process, which is used to display a TV picture in PAL standard, displays two half frames in succession. As the frame is generated, only the odd lines from the output device are displayed for the first half frame. When this is complete, the second half frame is generated from the even lines. The two frames are encoded separately. The relatively high refresh frequency means that the eye picks this up as a single frame.
