It's always set to 60 seconds.
My use case: I want to have a quick look trying out different aspect ratios. To keep conversion time low, I set it to 10 seconds and preview the video. Then I change one of the aspect ratio settings and preview again. I have to set the time again from 60 to 10 seconds.

I changed the encoding of the 4 titles from dual-pass to single-pass and tried again using Devede v4.16.0. I got a similar result:

I removed 3 of the 4 titles from the project, and changed the menu setting to 16:9.
That worked. Then I added the 3 titles and set for dual-pass encoding. Menu set to 16:9 again. That worked as well.https://gitlab.com/rastersoft/devedeng/-/issues/85How to select subtitles on DVD?2020-12-12T17:03:25ZM BHow to select subtitles on DVD?How do I select the correct subtitles when there are multiple subtitles available on the DVD?

I've added two sets of subtitles (EN and FR) to a DVD project, then created an ISO. I've opened the ISO in VLC but cannot see a way of selecting which subtitle set I want to display. I know about opening an `srt` file from VLC but that's not the problem: I want to know how to select the subtitle track from the DVD when it is in a domestic DVD player.
The Devede NG manual doesn't say much about subtitle selection. I'd expect to have to create a menu item for language selection (like in a commercial DVD) but there seems to be no way of creating this kind of element. Am I missing something obvious?
So far, all my attempts to write multiple subtitles to a DVD have failed, even with VLC. I get only a single language option, but no way of selecting it from the DVD menu. This is fine with VLC (I can use that application's Subtitle menu) but not good for a domestic DVD player. I'm left wondering whether the second language subtitles have been written correctly. There are no errors in the log and the ISO creation ends successfully.
Does anyone have experience of writing multiple subtitles to a DVD, then selecting among them?
Thanks.

This is related to #42 but more severe, since the resulting ISO cannot be burned to disc (since it is too large).
Steps to reproduce issue:
1. Add (4) high bitrate files (146% of disc)
2. Choose 4.7 GB DVD
3. Adjust disc usage
Expected Result: Resulting ISO <= 4.7 GB.
Actual Result: Resulting ISO is 4.9 GB.
Possible solution: Allow user to adjust the calculated bitrate after clicking "Adjust disc usage" (and allow user to choose between CBR/VBR if that is possible).https://gitlab.com/rastersoft/devedeng/-/issues/75Make desktop file translatable2018-08-16T22:34:05ZGabor KarsayMake desktop file translatablePlease add `data/devede_ng.py.desktop` to the list of translatable files in `po/POTFILES.in`.

Hi there!
Recently I've had to transfer some miniDV tapes to DVD and I had some problems.
**Symptoms**
I've transferred my tapes with 'dvgrab' utility into a bunch of .avi files. Then I put some of them into devede-ng, with deinterlacing disabled. When I burn the resulting .iso to DVD and play it in physical SD DVD player, it shows completely normal, fluid motion (50i) picture, like the one from the camera itself. But when I try to play it with, say, VLC with deinterlacing on, instead of fluid motion I observe jerkiness, as if field order was set incorrectly. VLC can't be the problem, because it plays other DVDs with deinterlacing on just fine and fluid.
**The problem**
As I've found through a bit of tinkering, apparently, when devede-ng uses ffmpeg to prepare .mpg movies, it forgets to properly set 'Scan order' flag (and field order) for the resulting video file. Quering resulting movie .mpg file with 'mediainfo --fullscan' showed that it has progressive scan order, but it really should be interlaced /w bottom field first (just like the source). Seems that physical DVD player doesn't care about that (and real TV shows images that are naturally interlaced), but it throws off software players such as VLC.
**My very dirty and temporary solution**
In order to quickly patch this just to get this particular job done, I've added a couple of switches in 'ffmpeg.py' file, 'convert_file' method:
self.command_var.append("-flags")
self.command_var.append("+ilme+ildct")
But I'd suggest that devede-ng should detect those flags from source media file, somehow.
Maybe I'll fix this properly myself sometime later and issue a pull request to you, but I won't make any promises.
Thank you, anyway :)
