Media - Converting

Nero Recode allows you to rip and convert your media into any format.

Do you have old VHS tapes with personal memories or movies stored in your attic? If you still own a VHS player, Nero Recode Stick can help you convert analogue to digital and preserve that valuable data.

This is a USB 2.0 flash drive that can be connected to your laptop. It has 1 X RCA video input, 2 X RCA audio inputs, and 1 X S-Video input which can be attached to your VHS player. Additionally, it can be connected to old turntables, camcorders, and cassette decks.

The cable we used to connect our devices was too short, which made it somewhat restrictive, but we could still make it work. We had no issues connecting the inputs and successfully recorded from an older Sony VHS player in our studio. Different VHS cassettes yielded varying degrees of quality. Some producing significantly better results than others. It's worth noting that the Nero Recode Stick doesn't come bundled with Nero Platinum and needs to be purchased separately.

Streaming Videos

You can stream videos to your smartphone or tablet from the MediaHome organizer. The Receiver in the MediaHome section allows for direct streaming via Wi-Fi with automatic conversion into compatible formats for easy viewing.

Video Editing

Once you have created your video it's possible that you want to make it available on DVD or Blu-ray. The authoring tools within Nero Video provide you with graphics, animations and text to create professional navigation tools and menus. One useful feature is the ability to switch disc format “on the fly” without having to start a new project.
