    Release Notes: This release features a new GUI for making multiple titlesets with tovid. It includes many updates and fixes for changes in the backends like ffmpeg and dvdauthor as well as numerous bugfixes. New libavfilter features from ffmpeg have been implemented, so the -quick-menu option now works again with a recent enough libavfilter and ffmpeg (0.8). Several new options have also been added, including the ability to use your own arbitrary images for thumbnail links. PNG is now used generally as an intermediary format instead of JPEG, resulting in improved picture quality.

        This is the most excellent and concise set of tools for creating discs from the command line. Very many automatisms are in place, e.g. making it easy to create animated menus. Qdvdautor and the likes may offer more eye candy, but have a much steeper learning curve before creating the first successful disc.

        Quite usable
        After the .30 release came out, I rarely use devede anymore. I use the todiscgui python script from this package, and it works pretty smoothly so long as the filenames don't contain commas. I can work around that though. I'm also a bit cautious about apostrophes. Exclamation points seem to be okay.
