Recently Ahead Software announced the key features of the Nero Recode v2, the movie backup tool of the Nero 6 package. As many of us know, the DVD-to-DVD-R transcoding abilities of the software originate from DVDShrink. This is due to the developer of DVDShrink working for Ahead Software.
As announced, the Recode v2 will incorporate some key features of the DVDShrink v3 beta. This includes the Deep Analyze –function, that aims to increase the quality of the transcoded copy. However, our sources have verified that the transcoding engine of Recode v2 has evolved significantly. Our sources refuse to go into details and retain a level of secrecy of the upcoming product, but it seems that Recode v2 will have more to offer in transcoding than its freeware 'mother' DVDShrink, not to mention all the other features such as MPEG-4 support.
Ahead Software has a good chance of taking the lead in the transcoder market.
