Nero Recode

Nero Recode is a premium file conversion manager that can effortlessly rip all forms of modern disc media and prepare video and audio files for streamlined reproduction on all modern multimedia devices.

Built from the ground up to speed up the process of CD/DVD/BD ripping, this fully featured file conversion application can serve the needs of both home and professional users.



It also comes with full support for converting video and audio files not only for PC reproduction, but for playback on a wide range of devices such as home consoles, smartphones, tablets, MP3 players, smart TVs, and more.

And since not all media is created in the same way or comes in too long formats, this app can also help anyone to make a few simple strategic edits to the multimedia files with built-in trim, rotate, crop, and cut tools.

The core functionality found in this app can be separated into four distinct categories – Import, Rip, Convert and Edit. Nero Recode allows users to easily import video and audio files straight from their local storage, and quickly prepare the target destination format by simply clicking on a device icon.

If the media is located on an optical disc, the app can automatically detect it and offer an easy way to pick which exact video files the user wants to transfer to local storage. Once the files are picked, the conversion process can begin by picking the target device (which is represented by the list of icons in the top-left corner of the app) and the quality (with a sliding scale from the smallest size to the best quality preset).

The conversion process is accelerated by CPU and GPU hardware, enabling modern PC configurations to very quickly transcode media files for use on other devices.

Finally, a small offering of editing tools is available from within the app, which can help users quickly trim down, crop, or re-orient files (most often videos recorded on mobile phones) before conversion.

For users who are in need of ripping and transcoding a large number of files, Nero Recode can serve them with the presence of a batch conversion tool and even an option to turn off the PC when all transcoding jobs are completed.

Nero Recode is a premium app that offers all first-time users a chance to test it during a free trial license. The full version of the app can be purchased either standalone or as a part of Nero Platinum Suite, a pack of software solutions from Nero that includes more than 20 different apps.
