OT- Nero recode 2 question

[videot]

I've seen many posts on this site about Nero Recode & since I have Nero 6.6 already on my machine I downloaded the optional package which includes the tools for recoding with MPEG2 & MPEG4 to give it a try.

I have the module installed correctly except that when I click on the Nero Recode 2 option expecting to get 3 choices I find that the third option is different than what was expected. The manual says that I should be seeing 'copy a DVD to Nero digital'. In stead of getting this I am offered Remake a DVD which doesn't include any MPEG4 options or even mention of this? Is the MPEG 4 codec not included, it implies that it is? How do I get to try out these options? No mention is ever made of Nero Digital where the manual suggests I should be looking.

Thanks for any help

Sounds as you don't have the DVD-Video Plug-in.

Sure it's not an OEM version of Nero?

Try to uninstall the Nero package with this tool:

Download the latest versions from Nero and after the installation insert your serialnumber.

I have version 6.6.0. 6 of Nero which was downloaded from the web. Their web site does not mention needing to get an extra plug in, in fact I think it says it's included. As for the page you sent me. it only mentiones MPEG2 & has no reference to MPEG4 & it was MPEG4 that I would have liked to try out.

As far as I can see I have posted to the Nero Recode forum at least that is whats displayed at the top of my page. At the time of the original posting I thought I had posted on the Shrink forum but then maybe the posting has been moved since then.

Do any other MPEG4 codecs, like DIVX etc. work in Nero Recode?

"The manual says that I should be seeing 'copy a DVD to Nero digital'. In stead of getting this I am offered Remake a DVD which doesn't include any MPEG4 options or even mention of this?"

Try the following:

(Your thread was moved from the DVD Shrink sub-forum to the NERO Recode sub-forum by one of the moderators)

This manual as stated before says to select the option to use Nero Digital. In my posting above I said 'I have the module installed correctly except that when I click on the Nero Recode 2 option expecting to get 3 choices I find that the third option is different than what was expected. The manual says that I should be seeing 'copy a DVD to Nero digital'. In stead of getting this I am offered Remake a DVD which doesn't include any MPEG4 options or even mention of this? Is the MPEG 4 codec not included, it implies that it is? How do I get to try out these options? No mention is ever made of Nero Digital where the manual suggests I should be looking.'

This is still the case & downloading the manual doesn't help, It might if I ever get to the stage os even seeing the option to use Nero Digital from the first page of the Recode 2 screen.

In another test for another thread I completely uninstalled my Nero with the tools from Nero to do this.

After that I downloaded package 1 and 2 from the download site. During the installation I filled in my serial number and if I now open up Nero Recode I have the following things:




And I didn't downloaded any additional files - so it must be controlled by the serial number.

What I did instead was to install Nero into my wifes laptop. I ran Nero first then ran the Reload option which then asked for the serial number. It accepted the number OK but it still didn't allow me to get to see any of the Nero Digital options mentioned in posted answers. As I only wanted to try these options to compare thre results with the DIVX encoder, which is working. I'll just forget about it since DIVX is already working & I haven't enough time to waste on things that don't work as they are supposed to.

You may not have the ultra edition, which includes the MP4 (Nero Digital). You may have the enterprise edition, which gives almost everything, but IIRC, not Nero Digital. You ay require an upgrade.

@cynthia - you got an anamorphic bitmap there!

Interestingly I find that the autoplay handler has been installed which is supposed to allow me to send DVD movie & CD's to Nero Digital.
