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)
