Hi, some feature requests I would like to see if possible would be motion menus-video in background/audio in background, motion buttons custom menu size/bitrate, custom menu navigation, vcd/svcd menu building, 352x240 size, a way to not have to reencode dvd compliant videos, custom chapter with chapter menus, and low video/audio bitrate settings for example like 800kbps and 64 kbps. These features would help to make DeVeDe one of the best opensource programs out there. Thanks in advance for reading and I hope that you find the time to implement these features.
These are all good ideas and
These are all good ideas and I think some of them are already in the program such as the not having to reencode part and the lower bitrate option is half there. Basically I would like to add all these features but my time is very precious. A few of the smaller ones might be added shortly. The rest I would have to be paid to do. Of course you can always try with http://www.rastersoft.com and see what they might do.
"motion menus-video in background": I would like to add this (http://majorsilence.com/devede_customization).
"audio in background": Click on the menu options buttons. There is a spot to add an audio file for the menu background.
"motion buttons custom menu size/bitrate": See http://majorsilence.com/devede_customization
"custom menu navigation": See http://majorsilence.com/devede_customization
"vcd/svcd menu building": I would like to add this (http://majorsilence.com/devede_customization).
"352x240 size": At the moment I see no reason not to add this.
"custom chapter with chapter menus": I would like to add this (http://majorsilence.com/devede_customization).
"a way to not have to reencode dvd compliant videos": When you add a video, under the advanced options -> Misc tab, there is a checkbox "this file is already a DVD/xCD-suitable MPEG-PS file".
"low video/audio bitrate settings for example like 800kbps and 64 kbp": You can currently set the video to 800 but at the moment the lowest the audio can be set is 128. When you add a video, under the advanced options -> General tab, the Video and Audio rate.
Just wondering if you could
Hi again,
Just wondering if you do implement the features you said you have to pay for, would you be willing to offer those versions for free download? That would be cool and help others want to download because of the extra features.
Yes
Yes, anything I am paid to do will go right back into the free download. The only reason I have some marked as pay for is because I do not have very much time to work on this. So to justify (to myself) working on some of the longer to create items I need an incentive. If a bunch of people wanted to get together and pool some money and pay for new features all the better. Of course lots of features will probably get added in time by rastersoft anyway. But if you want it done quickly I have no problem.
