DeVeDe NG vs DVDFab DVD Creator

DeVeDe NG is a Linux program for creating video DVDs and CDs in VCD, sVCD, or CVD formats. It accepts video formats supported by MPlayer and is described by its maker as DVD-authoring software for domestic players. The application rewrites the original DeVeDe with Python 3 and GTK 3. Its listed dependencies are MPlayer, MEncoder, FFmpeg, DVD Author, VCDImager, MKisofs, PyGTK, and PyGlade. Packages are provided for Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, and Arch Linux, alongside a Git repository. The maker does not support Windows ports and directs Windows users to porters. The page lists version 4.22.1, dated 2026-08-16. 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. The software supports subtitles and both DVD standards.

DVDFab DVD Creator authors DVDs from more than 200 video formats, including AVI, MP4, MKV, MOV, and TS. It can burn DVD-9, DVD-5, DVD±R/RW, and DVD±R DL discs, or save the result as an ISO file or folder. Menus can use static or dynamic templates, with controls for backgrounds, thumbnails, text, and playback buttons; viewers can switch audio tracks and subtitles. Its editor supports cropping, trimming, watermarks, filters, subtitle changes, brightness and contrast adjustments, and chapter customization. The product page also describes cloud-powered Detail Refiner AI for removing mosaics and restoring fine detail before disc creation. It can synchronize source-video metadata and generate.nfo files for media servers such as PlayerFab and Kodi. The maker says discs play on standalone DVD players and consoles such as PS5 and Xbox. A 30-day trial is available, with no free plan. The listed Mac lifetime license costs $59.99 as a one-time purchase. Windows requirements include Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit), an Intel i3 or higher, at least 4 GB RAM, 20 GB free disk space, a DVD drive, and a live internet connection.
