When a DVD project does not fit one disc at the chosen quality, offer to split it into several full-quality discs instead of only degrading the bitrate: - A pure, unit-tested planner distributes whole titles across discs and time-splits a single over-long movie at the chapter boundary nearest each disc's capacity (even-time fallback when it has no chapters). - on_create_disc_clicked asks split / reduce-bitrate / cancel, then authors each disc into its own subfolder and emits name-discN.iso per disc. - dvdauthor_converter takes per-title segment lengths so a split segment's chapter markers stay inside the segment. Also adds the project-level encode-profile selector (with custom-bitrate fields) next to the disc-size control. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

DEVEDE NG
WHAT IS IT?
Devede NG is a rewrite of the Devede DVD disc authoring program. This new code has been written from scratch, and uses Python3 and Gtk3. It is also cleaner, which will allow to add new features in the future.
INSTALLING DEVEDE NG FROM SOURCES
First, be sure that you have uninstalling any package with devede. Then, Just type:
sudo python3 -m pip uninstall -y devedeng
sudo python3 -m pip install .
sudo update-icon-caches /usr/share/icons/hicolor
If you receive a notification 'error: externally-managed-environment', you can override it by using
sudo python3 -m pip uninstall --break-system-packages -y devedeng
sudo python3 -m pip install --break-system-packages .
sudo update-icon-caches /usr/share/icons/hicolor
Also, remember that you need the setuptools and setuptools-gettext modules
installed in your system.
USING DEVEDE NG
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. It also lacks support for Mencoder, and can use only FFMpeg or AVConv for video conversion.
The current visible changes are quite small in number:
- Now allows to add several files at once
- Now makes 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, MPV or MPlayer for preview
- Allows to choose between Brasero or K3B for burning the discs
- Allows to set properties for several files in one step
- Allows to choose the subtitle colors
- Allows to choose between MP2 and AC3 audio for menus
THINGS TO DO
Some of the future ideas to add to Devede NG are, without an specific order:
- add more backends
- add more output formats
- allow to replace the movie's audio track with one or several MP3 or OGG audio files
- preview of a converted menu
