I have Nero 6 too. More specifically, here's what the Nero Information
Tool says I have under the 'Software' tab, on this XP SP1 Home PC:
Program Version
------------------------- -----------
Nero Burning ROM 6, 6, 0, 16
Nero StartSmart 2, 0, 0, 26
NeroVision 3,1,0,16 <---
Nero ShowTime 2, 0, 0, 44
Nero Recode 2 2, 2, 6, 17
Cover Designer 2, 3, 0, 47
Nero BackItUp Application 1, 2, 0, 54
I don't think the 'Nero' version, 6 in our case, is directly related
to the NVE version. But then, I've always found Nero's program naming
and updating/upgrading rather confusing.
Anyway, on the point at issue, my 'revisit' of NVE was some time ago.
As far as I can tell it *doesn't* re-encode existing DVD-ready MPG
files.
On the Burn Options page, use More > Video Options > General and
ensure 'Enable SmartEncoding of video and audio material' is checked.
