What it is
DeVeDe NG is Linux software for creating video DVDs and CDs in VCD, sVCD, or CVD formats from video files supported by MPlayer. The maker describes it as a tool for authoring DVDs intended for domestic players. It is a rewrite of the original DeVeDe, made with Python 3 and GTK 3. Its listed dependencies include MPlayer, MEncoder, FFmpeg, DVD Author, VCDImager, MKisofs, PyGTK, and PyGlade. Packages are listed for Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, and Arch Linux, as well as a Git repository. The product page lists version 4.22.1, dated 2026-08-16; the version history says distribution permissions changed to GPLv3 only in version 4.16.0. Raster Software, based in Vigo, invites questions and suggestions through author contact or the DeVeDe Forum. DeVeDe NG is free. The maker does not support Windows ports and directs Windows users to the porters.
