Ahead announces Nero Recode v2 details

19 November 2003 23:25 by Lasse "cd-rw.org" Penttinen | 9 comments

Ahead Softwares video backup software is evolving to the second generation. They have now announced the details of the v2, and set the release date to be in a couple of weeks.

Nero Recode is a DVD-to-DVD-R transcoding tool, originally based on the DVDShrink. But the v2 adds a whole lot more functionality. It seems that the deep analyze function from the DVDShrink v3 has been added to improve transcoding quality. It will also support Nero Digital, the MPEG-4 A/V codec for low bit rate Divx-like compression with simplicity.

Interesting usability features have also been included. The press release promises a Watch while you burn-mode while compressing, with full screen video and surround audio. Direct burn-technology should reduce the processing times by performing on-the-fly recording.

Nero Recode and Nero Digital are included in the Nero 6 retail license.

I have read some information on Nero Recode. It says it won't work on copy protected dvds. Is this what they are changing? I know it looks like shrink but if it doesn't decode and cost money, what good is it. Jerry [ + quote]

I'm thinking you would use DVD decrypter or smartripper to pull files off disc to the HD sans CSS, macrovision, & region crap and use Recode from there. Does that make sense? We mustn't lower ourselves to the level of those we loathe, lest we become loathsome ourselves. [ + quote]

Ahead isn't actually charging for Recode. It's included in the Nero 6 license. Naturally they cant provide the anti-protection routines for legal reasons. But you can do it with DVD Decryper, or real time driver solutions such as AnyDVD or DVD43. http://CD-RW.ORG Serving The Burners Burning The Servers [ + quote]
