Devede, a video DVD creator

Creating the disk

After adding all the files you want and clicking in the Forward button, you will be prompted for a directory where Devede will create all the files, and a generic name for them. The directory must have enought free space to hold all the temporary files (aprox. the double of the final CD/DVD size if you delete temporary files, or the triple if you don't). The generic name will be used to name all the temporary files, so the MPEG files will be named as GENERICNAME_XX_YY.MPG, the DVD tree directory will be named GENERICNAME, the ISO image will be named GENERICNAME.ISO, and the BIN/CUE files will be GENERICNAME.BIN and GENERICNAME.CUE.

You can also activate the checkbutton labeled Shutdown computer when disc is done. As it says, it shuts down the computer when the job is finished, allowing you to leave your machine working at night. If there's an error, the computer won't be shut down.

Finally, the program will start to create the files. Remember that this is a very slow process, and can need more than two hours to be completed, depending on the files. You will see this window with all the process:

If there is an error during the creation process, you will see a window like this:

There you can expand the Debugging data element and you will have access to the debugging info. You can use the Copy button to copy all the text to the clipboard, and paste it into a mail, if needed.

Instead, if the disk image is created fine, you will see this window:

Here you can just click the Burn button and you will be able to burn the image in a DVD disc. Or you can just click OK and burn it later using a DVD burning program like Brasero or K3b.
