What’s new in Nero Recode

Better Quality, Faster Speed

In the latest update of Nero Recode, we have made significant improvements to the video encoding process. Our engineers have developed advanced algorithms that ensure better video quality while maintaining faster encoding speeds. Now you can enjoy high-quality videos without sacrificing time. Whether you’re converting videos for playback on your mobile device or creating a digital archive of your favorite movies, Nero Recode has got you covered.

Support for Adding Subtitles to Videos

In addition to the improvements in video encoding, the latest update of Nero Recode now includes support for adding subtitles to your videos. Whether you want to add captions for better accessibility or include translations for international viewers, Nero Recode makes it easy. With a simple and intuitive interface, you can import subtitle files in various formats and customize their frame rate and delays. Now, you can enhance your videos with subtitles and make them more engaging and inclusive.

Difference between soft and burn-in subtitles

Subtitles are a great way to enhance your videos, but it’s important to understand the difference between soft and burn-in subtitles. Soft subtitles are separate files or embedded text streams that can be turned on or off by the viewer. They are typically used for adding captions or translations to videos. On the other hand, burn-in subtitles are permanently embedded into the video itself and cannot be turned off. They are commonly used for videos that need to be shared on platforms that don’t support separate subtitle files. Nero Recode supports both types of subtitles, giving you the flexibility to choose the best option for your videos.

What is Nero AI video upscaling and how to turn on/off it?

Even people who are not so interested in watching movies may agree that watching videos in high resolution (such as Full HD, 4K) is a wonderful experience. With 4K monitors and TVs becoming more and more popular, are you still satisfied with watching blurry SD videos on 4K monitors or TVs?

What is traditional video upscaling?
Traditional upscaling or resize is the easiest way to stretch a lower resolution video onto a larger displayer. The pixels in the lower resolution image are simply repeated and averaged to fill all the pixels of the higher resolution display. The result is that the video fits a 4K monitor, but it usually looks blurry.

What is Nero AI video upscaling?
Nero AI video upscaling predicts high-resolution videos through an AI model and produces incredible clarity and enhanced details that cannot be reproduced by traditional upscaling, such as sharper edges, more realistic hair, and the landscapes with striking clarity.

There are no special hardware requirements for the conversion in Nero Recode and the export in Nero Video. The general performance depends on the system performance. But the hardware limitation will not affect the output quality. We recommend running Nero AI upscaling on Windows 10 or higher 64-bit operating systems.
