Re: Portable Nero Recode 4.64.111 VERIFIED

Understood: I will also point out that I consider myself an advanced user, and again my burns work perfectly 99 percent of the time. This "anamoly" comes from Imageburn seeing an "invisible" file or file(s) that recode is somehow producing or associating with a DVD image that Imageburn "thinks" is larger than it is. Was that confusing? So I swear it is not a "settings" issue. Next time it occurs I will take screen-shots and "Lighting UK" showed me how to "display" the error using a "control" command.
I may even start "ripping" to an image using DVDFab (as opposed to ripping with Fab and recoding to an image using Nero); DVDFab does a fantastic job ripping, but the image "burns" are glitchy - even after verified by Imageburn.
Enter H.264 and AAC, these rather new technologies can perform this feat but at the time of this article only one program was able to recode with AAC 5.1 support and that is Nero recode 2. Now you may have heard about DivX and it also can perform very-good compression but H.264 has better quality at lower bitrates then what is obtainable currently with DivX. Throw in AAC 5.1 support and your compressed file will be almost indistinguishable from the source. I have found the best package to view the files is called CCCP (Combined Community Codec Pack) I suggest you download and install it before attempting to play any H.264 files (.mp4 and .mkv) you can download it from Here.
Nero Recode can be hard to configure for first time users and the amount of options and settings can be intimidating so I have prepared this guide for those of you who would like to try and recode DVD's to this new format. These settings were developed by me and it took many hours of trial and error with side by side viewing's to determine which setting actually made a difference and to try and determine the best bitrates to use. These settings may be improved upon and are a good head-start so feel free to experiment, just a note that newer versions of Recode may have the options in different locations and the newest version adds support for filters. I have not had a chance to play with these Filters so you will not see any mention of them in these instructions.
Overall, Nero USBxCopy is a handy tool if you are the type of user who wants to create multi-copy backups of your data using your external USB hard drives. It's simple and straightforward to use and transfers are even verified to make sure that they were completed successfully. There are no advanced features included though, but this software is worth a look nonetheless.
