The German newssite Chip.de reports that Ahead have released the first beta version of the upcoming software Nero Recode 2.
The software is able to copy and do a "9 to 5" conversation for DVDs, compile new DVDs from existing collections or convert them into the new Nero-Digital-Format (MPEG4).
The highlight of this software is Ahead's MPEG4-Video-Codec. Unfortunately it only imports complete DVDs and no single video files yet. So Recode cannot be used as an MPEG4 converter yet.
Fortunately the codec is pretty fast. On a Pentium 4 with 2 GHz the program managed to encode 35 frames per second, in Dual-Pass mode it only needed 2 hours for a 90 minutes film.
