REVIEW: DeVeDe 3.16.8 â DVD made easy!
,----[ Quote ]
| Upon loading DeVeDe you are presented with
| a screen which asks you what type of disk
| you are creating. In my instance it was
| DVD video, although there are offers of
| VideoCD, Super VideoCD, China VideoDisc and
| DivX/Mpeg-4 too. Next up you select the
| titles for your buttons on your menu screen
| and with a quick click to the adjacent box
| to select the files that are going to be
| played when this title is selected. This
| is where DeVeDe 3.16.8 really impresses and
| taking the worry of all those command line
| options away, it will automatically convert
| your files into DVD compliant format.
| After that its rinse and repeat for any
| other titles you want on your disk. NTSC
| and PAL are both catered for and there is a
| status bar to show you how much room you
| have left on the disk.

Building DVD discs with Bombono
,----[ Quote ]
| DVD authoring can be a deceptively tricky
| business. Though it can take some time to
| convert source video to the proper MPEG
| format, the technical requirements for the
| various regions are standardized, so it is
| at least possible to configure the
| conversion tools and do it right, once and
| for all. What cannot be automated is
| building the disc structure that
| distinguishes a user-friendly disc with
| chapters, eye-pleasing menus, and a file
| hierarchy that makes sense from a down-and-
| dirty, technically-it-plays-but-it-looks-
| awful amateur job.

| Minitunes is just another music player,

| reading the developerâs log (RSS).
| Minitunes will be available on Linux, Mac
| and hopefully Windows.

Legalizing Linux DVD Playback: Why Bother?

| CSS is licensed by the DVD Copy Control

| the CSS license is this: if you have a DVD
| playback device, then you need to license the
| CSS encryption code. No license, then no DVD.

Bombono DVD - Easy to use program for making DVD video discs
,----[ Quote ]
| Bombono DVD is easy to use program for making
| DVD video discs. This program allows you to
| get video on optical discs without knowing
| many technical details. It provides the full
| authoring sequence: making chapters while
| browsing videos, custom menu creation,
| authoring, and optionally burning on DVD.
| Also, it features the interesting feature of
| re-authoring, which allows one to get video
| back from DVDs.

KDE vs. GNOME: DVD Tools and Desktop Design
,----[ Quote ]
| DVD tools are more important on Linux than on
| most operating systems. While Windows or OSX
| users rarely burn CDs or DVDs except for an
| occasional backup, for many Linux users,
| burning a Live CD to investigate a
| distribution is a common task.
|
| Similarly, although the users of other
| operating systems may extract audio or
| visuals from a CD, all the really large local
| content libraries I have seen tend to be on
| Linux. What is an occasional convenience to
| others are standard tools in the free and
| open source lifestyle.
|
| For this reason, DVD tools are well-
| represented in both KDE and GNOME. On both
| desktops, earlier tools like X-CD-Roast that
| are formidable in their options have been
| replaced with more user-friendly default
| tools: K3b for KDE, and Brasero for burning
| and Sound Juicer for audio ripping for GNOME.
|
| All these tools perform their basic tasks
| well enough for most users. However, what is
| striking is how clearly each of them
| demonstrates the design philosophies of the
| desktops with which they are associated.
