The owner of the linuxtech-testing repository yesterday removed the DeVeDe
that I had used. It appears nobody could get that particular newer DeVeDe
3.21.0 version to work with the older ffmpeg & mencoder (which don't handle
the new -fv option to ffmpeg which adds the black bars on top & bottom).

Since ffmpeg affects many other programs, and since the older DeVeDe 3.16.9
was still available elsewhere (e.g., Pbone Fedora src RPMs), the repository
owner (megatux) simply removed DeVeDe until further testing can be done.
So, if you're on Centos, the way to get DeVeDe authoring freeware is to
use the Fedora src RPMs to build on Centos.
