Now you may be wondering why you should by a copy of DeVeDe instead of just using the free version or creating your own package from source. One reason being is that if enough people are paying I will take the time to investigate and fix as many bugs as possible (Currently if a bug does not affect me you are probably out of luck). If you want a feature that fits in reasonably with DeVeDe I will take the time to evaluate it and see if it is possible to add.

Features that could be added rather quickly include:

• Scene Selection
• More Subtitle Options
• Photo Slideshow
• Menu Templates
• Native Windows File Selectors
• Global Application settings
• In application support (or through neroburn) for immediately burning created videos to dvd or cd
• Support for .ogv files for use with Firefox and Operas new video tag
• Proper msi installation packages
• etc...

Last but not lest, if I am being paid I will continue making these packages instead of spending my time elsewhere. Anyway, the price is not much more than a cheap coffee at $2.75.

Things to Know

The upstream DeVeDe website is http://www.rastersoft.com/programas/devede.html. All relevant changes are sent upstream.

The purpose of this page is to provide easy to use installer packages. Also, if I fix a bug for Windows I can release it faster here then the time it takes for it to be included in a main DeVeDe release.

If you would like to discuss problems or get help you can try the new DeVeDe Windows forum.

Problems that occur in different versions of DeVeDe for Microsoft Windows:

• All version: Translations not properly working. If anyone knows how to get glade translations to work on Windows I would appreciate an email.
• The 3.7.1 installer had several problems. Please update to 3.7.1b.
• Unicode characters (Eg. ñ and á) in a video name will keep it from being added to devede.
• Windows Vista: If you are using a version of devede older then 3.7.1b, set it to run in XP SP2 compatibility Admin mode.
• In version 3.6.2 if your default web browser is not Internet Explorer, clicking the Help -> Documentation menu item will not display the documentation.
• In version 3.6.2 clicking the Help -> Check for Updates menu item will crash the program if you are not connected to the internet
• Do not convert videos on shared folders. Transfer them to your local hard drive first. This is only a concern with files larger than 30 MB. Seems to time out the connection.
• Video types that are not supported in the default install may be supported by installing extra video codecs from the mplayer web site.
• If DeVeDe does not work for you or you do not like it, you could try out dvdflick. Dvdflick is another open source application to create DVDs.
