Creating a disk: fast instructions

Before explaining all the options in Devede, here is the common sequence to create a disk.

First, you choose the disk type you want to create (DVD, VCD, sVCD, CVD or DivX). Then, you drag&drop the files you want in the main window, or add them with the Add file button.

If you want to add subtitles or fine-tune the properties of a file, you should use the Properties button.

Then you should click the Adjust disk usage button. This will automatically set the video bitrate for each file (which depends on the final size of the file, if it has one or more subtitles, if it's already a converted file...).

After that, use the Menu options button to ensure that you like the menu that Devede will create. If not, you can use the available options to change them. Remember that the menu will use the names of the files, unless you change them in the properties of each file.

Finally, just click the Forward button, choose a destination directory and a name, and enjoy a good coffee while Devede works.

When the ISO or BIN/CUE file has been created, you can just click the Burn button to dump it into a physical disc

Storing and restoring the disc structure

The options Load, Save and Save as in the File menu allow you to save the current disk structure, in case you want continue your work later or reuse it for another, slightly different, disk. Devede stores the disk format adding the extension .devedeng instead of the old .devede, because the internal format has changed.
