Nero Digital™ is a complete audio/video Codec solution based on the MPEG-4 standard, but also supports the MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 codec, already adapted as mandatory codec for future standards, such as HD-DVD and Blu-ray. Its powerful compression technology allows for previously unheard of volumes of data to be saved. Video material is compressed to about 20% of its original volume, delivering top quality results that can be easily and quickly shared and used on mobile devices. Nero Digital™ videos can be played back on PCs running the Nero Digital codec and on the growing number of certified Nero Digital™ consumer electronic devices.
Co-developed by Nero and Ateme, Nero Digital™ is fully based on industry standards MPEG-4 Video (MPEG-4 SP/ASP and AVC/H.264) and MPEG-4 Audio (LC AAC und HE AAC) compression technologies, allowing the flexibility to play MPEG-4 compliant content, yet offering advanced interactive features in unprecedented audio and video quality. With Nero Digital™, users can fit more high quality audio and video content to any given screen size, ranging from cell phones to HDTV on CDs, DVDs, flash memory and hard drives.
