Creating the disk

After adding all the files you want and clicking in the Forward button, you will be prompted for a directory where DeVeDe will create all the files, and a generic name for them. The directory must have enought free space to hold all the temporary files (aprox. the double of the final CD/DVD size if you delete temporary files, or the triple if you don't). The generic name will be used to name all the temporary files, so the MPEG files will be named as GENERICNAME_XX_YY.MPG, the DVD tree directory will be named GENERICNAME, the ISO image will be named GENERICNAME.ISO, and the BIN/CUE files will be GENERICNAME.BIN and GENERICNAME.CUE.

Finally, the program will start to create the files. Remember that this is a very slow process, and can need more than two hours to be completed, depending on the files.

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 the case that you want continue your work later, or reuse it for another, slightly different, disk. DeVeDe stores the disk format adding the extension .devede.

When you load a disk structure, DeVeDe checks that every file is still in its place. If there is a missing, it will show an error message listing all the missing files (the complete path) and will refuse to load the structure, to avoid incorrect results. There's a trick to still load it: just copy another movie to the right directory and rename it with the right name, and after loading the structure, remove it from DeVeDe.

If the missing file is the menu background, DeVeDe will load the structure anyway, but showing a warning
message and using the default background instead.
