What’s the best way to find out when a new version is released?
We have a dedicated mailing list for that very purpose, and if you sign up you can rest assured that you won’t receive any other notifications about OpenDisc or anything else for that matter - just a quick email letting you know a new version is available. Sign up for the OpenDisc mailing list.
If you’d like to follow OpenDisc a little closer you might be interested in our RSS feeds.
What is the font that OpenDisc uses?
It’s called Gentium, and was developed by SIL International to provide an international typeface supporting thousands of different languages. It also looks great, and at any size. Gentium is available under an open source software license. More information about Gentium.
How can I remove VLC from OpenDisc?
In the USA there is a law that prohibits the way VLC plays DVDs, effectively claiming that it breaks the law. If you are distributing the disc in the USA or another country with similar laws (we’re unsure if other countries do) you can choose to remove VLC, so you don’t risk getting into trouble for distributing it. Not that anybody has (to our knowledge) and it’s extremely unlikely that anybody ever will, but if you’d like to be on the safe side, here’s a tutorial for Windows and Linux. We’re still after a Mac tutorial, so if you know how and have the time to write one up, let us know!
