Problems creating a externally playable dvd with Devede
Hello, I was trying to pass a video file to a dvd-r to use in an external dvd, saw a thread on ask ubuntu about it and there is mentioned devede. Decide to try it, but I am experiencing problems trying to do two different things.
The first is when I try to create a playable dvd with a single video file. When trying to create it, a pop up window shows up saying: Quote:

The other problem shows up when combining subtitle with a video file. Doing the same as before but adding a srt file through the menu options I get stuck with a pop up window saying: Quote:
Quote:
On this case I think I can use ffmpeg to embed the subtitles in the video file , but it would be nice to fix it other way. |

Hi Ultron,
looks like nobody on this forum is familiar with Devede... I did use it quite a bit, and I still have it installed on my WindowsXP machine. Some things you should clarify: Are you under Ubuntu or Windows? Is your target format a Video DVD or a VCD? You mentioned that you wanted to create a DVD, but your settings indicate that you instructed Devede to create a VCD. For a DVD you need to select the top button (Video DVD), and your target size should be 4.7GB for a single layer blank and 8.5GB for a dual layer blank. In this case Devede will not try to create BIN and CUE files, it will author a DVD structure instead (a VIDEO_TS folder). I am not familiar with subtitles, you should ask in the Devede support forum.

Thanks, I was able to successfully create a video dvd doing what you said. However what I really wanted to do was to be able to play the video files without changing them or to reduce their files, and at the time I wrote the topic, I thought the option to use them without modifications was only available under the vcd option (it wasn't).
In the end, I was able to directly play the video files on the player even without devede, so i ended being useless for me, since I don't need devede to write them to a dvd without modifications and the VideoCD option actually increases the size of the video files a little bit. So I will end writing the files directly or using ffmpeg with libdivx to create my own reduced video files. |
