3.16.0 / W7
Sure you know this already - 3.16.0 fails (hangs) at the 'DVD Tree Structure' stage under W7 (32 Bit). I have ImgBurn installed.
Nice to see though that you're trying to add the 'No Menu' option back.
3.15.2 is fine.
Thanks for letting me know.
Thanks for letting me know. I was unaware of that problem on Windows 7. I will see what I can do but I do not have Windows 7 so I cannot promise anything.
3.16.0 works after all...
...without ImgBurn!
Bizarre. I tried again with a clean install of 3.16.0 with the following results:
a) The ISO creation was successful.
b) ImgBurn did NOT kick in. DeVeDe created the ISO itself.
c) Even though I had pointed DeVeDe at an existing folder that I'd created under my 'user name' folder in W7, it still created the ISO in it's own folder (using the name I'd chosen for the ISO) one level up. I used the DeVeDe file dialogue to create a new folder instead called 'DVD's' and that worked fine next time around.
So, bottom line, DeVeDe is working fine (at the moment) under W7. No ImgBurn (and it won't seem to use it anyway), and it seems that DeVeDe does not like using a destination folder that was created outside it's own interface.
How change language?
Thanks for the new version!
Just installed DeVeDe 3.16.0 and I noticed that the graphical interface is in english. How change it for my Winxp language (brazilian portuguese)? This was set automatically in DeVeDe 3.12.4 ...
It is a regression in the
It is a regression in the underlying technology that devede is built on (pygtk, gtk) on windows. The new way for doing user interfaces will not load the translations on windows. I can force it but then it is only partial translations. I will make sure this is done for build 2 of 3.16.0. Its not perfect but at least some of it will be translated.
Another weird problem with forcing it is that it causes any non ascii characters to break the translation.
Fails with two titles
I have 3.15.2 running on W7 32 Bit. If I add two avi titles, adjust disc usage to 99% and use default options otherwise, the conversion fails - no errors, it just stops - no CPU / RAM usage. If I try to cancel, DeVeDe hangs and I need to use Task Manager to kill it. It stops in different places during the conversion (I've tried a few times) which makes it harder to diagnose. Hopefully you can suggest something... (I have ImgBurn installed, but it's failing well before ISO creation)
Fixed
I believe I have fixed the problem and have uploaded 3.15.2 build 8 as the final build for 3.15.2.
Fixed indeed...
Working fine... Thanks
I am having the same problems
I am having the same problems with 3.15.2. I am not having the problems with 3.12.4. My suggesting is to stick with 3.12.4 if it was working for you.
I know what is causing the issue but when I fix it the conversion is 4 or 5 times slower. Once this issue is solved I will move 3.15.2 out of testing.
Menu
Is is possible to have an option NOT to be build any menu at all? I'm converting single avi files to DVD format and simply don't need a menu.
Thanks - otherwise excellent. The best free software I have!
That was removed to comply
That was removed to comply with dvd standards. What you can do is set the title to play automatically.
Click the "Menu options" button then take a look at this screen shot. See the "Disc startup options" section. Select "Jump to the first title at startup" and it will play automatically.

Any news on a Version 3.14.0 release for Windows
I often use Devede to reauthor dvds by extracting the original audio and video stream to a single vob file. In version 3.14.0 a new option was added to Devede that helps to simplify the re-authoring process. Instead of having to re-encode the audio/video I can simply check the box labeled "Repack audio and video without reencoding." Unfortunately that option is only available in Devede for Linux. It would be great to have that option available in Windows as well.
I have DeVeDe 3.15.2 working
I have DeVeDe 3.15.2 working now. There are a couple issues that I have found that I am working on but I suspect that I will upload zipped folder of the build shortly. If there are no problems sometime this week I will upload new installers for version 3.15.2.
This is an unfortunate
This is an unfortunate situation that will be fixed as soon as PyGTK works decently on windows.
Basically the problem is that devede depends on PyGTK and the latest release is 2.12.2 on Windows but parts of devede require pygtk 2.14 for it to function correctly.
Interim solution?
Dieter Verfaillie posted that he has test snapshots of more recent win32 versions available (at http://www.optionexplicit.be/projects/gnome-windows/20091106/ ). If you haven't already, you might want to try using these (perhaps labeling devede build against this as untested, pre-beta code?) until something official is release.
I have just tried pygtk from
I have just tried pygtk from both http://www.optionexplicit.be/projects/gnome-windows/20091106/ and http://opensourcepack.blogspot.com/2009/09/pygtk-2160-python-25-win32-un... and was not able to get either of them to work. So it looks like I will once again be waiting for an official pygtk build.
I have seen those builds but
I have seen those builds but have not tried anything with them. I have been waiting for an official build of pygtk but that seems unlikely to happen any time soon. So tonight I may look into some of the unofficial builds people have been working on and see how well devede works with them. If it works I will be posting a devede 3.15.2 build.
pygtk 2.14
Not sure if this will help but I stumbled upon this blog post a while back regarding pygtk support on windows.

Devede has a simple intuitive
Devede has a simple intuitive interface, it does everything I need, menus, multiple titles, merge titles into one, multiple output formats, subtitle support and more. It may not be as configurable as some of it's windows rivals, but for linux Devede produces excellent results. .. Great application :)
Chiery, Download Games website
Great program
I use Win Xp Sp3 32 bit and it works(All the time, No Crashes) with mkv files better than ConvertXToDvD and better quality too. Thank for the Program and all the work you put into it. Keep up the good work.
Non english letters in video file path
Tnx for great program.
Bug:
If there is non English letters in video file path, DeVeDe would not recognize file as valid video file.

Error in DeVeDe 3.12.4 for Windows?
Old version uninstalled and fresh installation of DeVeDe 3.12.4 for Windows. I can't run the program: nothing happens and I have the following messages in:
devede-err.log :

Thanks in advance.
So where is 3.12.4?
Download has vanished! :(
Broken
I have tested it on a few computers besides my development computers and it has problems. I won't be sure what it is until I check tonight, but I think it has to do with imgburn support or more likely that something got left out of the installer. I will probably be uploading 3.12.5 to replace it tonight.
Any news on 3.12.5? Thanks.

rmvb
How work with rmvb on windows?
that's the best on linux.
waitting for a help.
from Brazl.
Update to 3.12.3 and try again
While I do not have any rmvb files to test myself, I have just updated devede to 3.12.3 to use a newer version of mencoder so it may work now.
Thanks!
A must have tool that everyone should have!
This program is my preferred application for converting nearly any video to a DVD in Linux.
Your work and that of the program's author is much appreciated!
Bug
I tried convert rmvb files with the version 3.12.2 but it crash in loading the file. Is it because of the bug fixed in the version 3.13, that is, it "fail when LANG is not defined"? I am using a Linux 3.14.0 version and it is great, perfect! I would like this version in Windows.
Thanks. From Brazil.
DeVeDe
I have tried many programs to convert wmv files to DVD - DeVeDe is by far the best: high quality output, easy to use and fairly quick processing (windows XP, 2GHz Pentium 4).
Delighted that I found it!!!

Thank You
Thanks so much, this is a great app to have on Windows!!
Ehtyar.
Awesome app
used on Linux, needed for Windows for work - stunning, thx.
Freak'n amazing program!
I'm continually impressed by the compatibility DeVede provides for the ordinary home DVD player. Excellent!
I haven't really explored any options beyond adding "Play" to the menu and a movie-type poster (*.png) image for the start up, but this app is my always my first choice! I honestly haven't needed anything more than this!
Gr8 work! THANK YOU!
