Recoding

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The term recoding is used in various areas.

Linguistics

In linguistics, the term recoding is often associated with phonology (phonological recoding) . It describes the processing of written symbols on the letter and word level. The recoding service does not require an understanding of what has been spoken or read aloud.

PLC

In the area of programmable logic controllers , the term is used to describe the recoding of values ​​into variables. With certain values, new values ​​are assigned in the data set. With data cleansing, values ​​can be summarized or incorrect values ​​can be corrected.

Video technology

Unlike transcoding , where, for example, a video file is converted into another video format, recoding converts a video file with certain properties into the same video format with different properties.

The source and target format remain identical. For example, the content of a video DVD ( e.g. MPEG-2 ) is only reduced in resolution and frame rate (Kbit / s) in order to save storage space.

In order to make copies of film DVDs , many users often decide to recode because of the high prices of double-layer DVD blanks and possible compatibility problems. Since most of the original DVDs have a total size of over 4.5 gigabytes (DVD 9), and thus exceed the storage space of a commercially available single-layer DVD (DVD 5), the data size can be reduced by recoding, which ultimately results in burning to one single-layer DVD allows.

Special programs such as DVD Shrink are used for recoding , which ultimately enable burning to a single-layer DVD (DVD 5). Even Nero Recode , which in the program package of Nero Burning ROM is included, saving, or Recoding enables non-copy-protected movie DVDs.
