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.

Why and how shall I choose a product to show in Start?

Nero Start, as your hub to manage all your Nero programs, it always show the applications of your selected product in Start view. Your selected product name will be listed at Nero Start header bar. If you own several Nero products, you can choose one to show its applications in Start view according to your preference.

For example, in below screen, the Start view lists all your applications of Nero Platinum Suite 2021:

How to restore old backups from Nero BackItUp?

The recommended way to restore a backup done with a previous version of Nero BackItUp is to install this particular version again and to use it for the restore. This approach ensures maximum compatibility and highest success rates. Older versions of the software can be downloaded here: https://www.nero.com/eng/downloads/previous-versions/
Additionally you will need your serial key to enable the software. You might still have it on your PC, in your emails or on the CD/DVD cover of a previous purchase.

If the above doesn’t work in your case, there are another two options.

To differentiate between the two, please make sure to have enabled file name extensions in your Windows Explorer.

  1. Go to “Windows Explorer”
  2. Click “View”.
  3. Make sure the checkbox beside “File name extensions” is checked.

Now your backup files will have a dot and a three letter extension at the end. e.g. MyBackup.nco.

For files with the extension .nco you can try to open them with the latest version of the free tool 7-Zip  https://www.7-zip.org/download.html

For files with the extension .nba and .nda please install the trial version of the latest Nero BackItUp product from here: https://www.nero.com/eng/downloads/

  1. Go to “Nero BackItUp”.
  2. Click on “Restore”.
  3. Go to “Browse”.
  4. Click on “Local Sources”
  5. Select your backup files.

If no error is shown after selecting the files, it is highly likely that Nero BackItUp will be able to restore the files after purchase.
