Re-encoding MPEG-1, MPEG-2/SVCD files

In certain situations MPEG files may not have the right characteristics of a (S)VCD for a compilation. When this happens, Nero detects the incorrect format and the user has three options: 'Ignore Compatibility', 'Re-Encode the File' or 'Cancel'.

Re-encoding involves a number of steps. Decoding the existing file as it is, converting the resolution and framerate, and re-encoding. If this option is selected, re-encoding starts as soon as burning is initiated. Because AVI files are being encoded, the process will need both time and temporary memory space. The characteristics of the produced video tracks can be checked using the 'Encoding resolution' option on the 'VideoCD' tab in the New Compilation window.

Burning MPEG-2 on VCD or MPEG-1 on SVCD is only allowed when the Nero MPEG-2/SVCD plugin module is installed. Please read the next section for more information.
