			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Windows users surely have no shortage of programs that convert video to dvd. The last excellent tool to <a href="http://www.ghacks.net/2008/08/24/create-a-dvd/">create a dvd</a> was AVStoDVD which was reviewed just a few weeks ago here at Ghacks. <a href="http://www.majorsilence.com/devede/">DeVeDe</a> is an Open-Source multi-plattform application that can not only convert video to DVD but also to CD which offers support for the standards VCD, SVCD and CVD. </p>
<p>The main argument for using DeVeDe is the ease if use of this application. It just takes a minute to add the videos to the application and start the creation of the DVD which does not require user input at all. The program keeps the advanced parameters like audio and video bitrates in configuration dialogs that a normal user does not need to bother to look into. </p>
<p>One nice feature of the video to DVD software is the ability to automatically adjust the size and the quality of the videos that are added to the application so that all movies fit on the selected medium. The medium that is created can have a size between 185 Megabytes and 8.5 Gigabytes which can be selected from templates.</p>
<p><span id="more-6690"></span><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/video_to_dvd-500x350.jpg" alt="video to dvd" title="video to dvd" width="500" height="350" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-6691" /></p>
<p>The user can specify the output format of each video file that he adds, select an audio track if multiple are available and add subtitles from the computer. Advanced users can take a look at detailed information and settings and change settings like the aspect ratio, the scaling mode or several quality settings.</p>
<p>The title menu of the DVD can be configured extensively. A user who just wants to play the videos one after the other can keep the default settings. Users who want to define font size, background image and sounds can do that as well.</p>
<p>If the computer uses more than one cpu core then users should enable the optimization for multi-core cpus in the advanced options of the main menu. The video to DVD software saves the new DVD in iso format on the hard drive which can then be burned to a blank DVD. Other options include the creation of a video_ts folder.</p>
<p>DeVeDe is an excellent video to DVD program for Windows and Linux.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Open Source and free software programs that can replace specialized commercial software are constantly gaining quality. They are often the better solution to commercial software. A good example is <a href="http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=859233">AVStoDVD</a> which can be used to create a DVD from video files.</p>
<p>The software supports many popular video formats like avi, flv, mpg and mov that can be added to the DVD. Both DVD-5 and DVD-9 are supported as well. One great feature of the software is that it automatically calculates the best Bitrate so that all movies that have been added fit on the selected DVD.</p>
<p>This takes some pressure from the user who does not want to have anything to do with bitrates and DVD quality. It&#8217;s obviously not possible to add an unlimited amount of movies but if you can live with a reduce quality you can pack more film on the DVD.</p>
<p><span id="more-6439"></span> The DVD creation process requires minimal input from the user. Experienced users on the other hand can customize the settings to optimize the output.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/create_a_dvd-500x374.jpg" alt="create a dvd" title="create a dvd" width="500" height="374" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-6446" /></p>
<p>To create a DVD the user has to add movies to the video queue of the application. A click on Start starts the DVD creation. No other input whatsoever is required.</p>
<p>AVStoDVD creates a DVD by default which can be changed in the options. A dvd menu is for instance not required if the DVD contains only one movie but should be mandatory if it contains several movies. The menu can be edited by the user if he has the desire to do that.</p>
<p>Another interesting feature is the ability to add subtitles to each movie. That&#8217;s as uncomplicated as the rest of the options. </p>
<p>The process to create a DVD took around 1:20 hours on my system. Creating a DVD-9 should take roughly double that time. Jobs can be queued so that it is possible to create several DVDs in one go.</p>
