# DEVEDE NG #

## WHAT IS IT? ##

Devede NG is a rewrite of the Devede DVD disc authoring program. This new
code has been writen from scratch, and uses Python 3 and Gtk3. It is also
cleaner, which will allow to add new features in the future.


## INSTALLING DEVEDE NG ##

Just type:

	sudo ./setup.py install


## USING DEVEDE NG ##

The first alpha version of Devede NG is very similar to the old devede, with the
exception that, when creating a DVD disc, there are no more "titles" and
"files". Instead, you just add files to the disc.

The current visible changes are quite small in number:

* Now allows to add several files at once
* Now make better use of multicore systems by parallelizing the conversion of several movie files
* The menu edition is interactive
* Has a new "cut" resizing method, to allow to store as widescreen movies with black bars
* Allows to create Matroska files with H.264 video and MP3 audio
* Allows to use VLC or MPlayer for preview
* Allows to choose between Brasero or K3B for burning the discs


## THINGS TO DO ##

Some of the future ideas to add to Devede NG are, without an specific order:

* allow to set properties for several files in one step
* add support for two-pass encoding
* add more backends
* add more output formats
* allow to replace the movie's audio track with one or several MP3 or OGG audio files


## History of versions ##
* version 0.1 alpha 1 (2014-08-06)
