Problem Description:
I know this isn’t an Ubuntu support question as such, but I thought I’d see if anyone had any idea what to do about this. I installed DevedeNG from the Snap store, I assume (it’s been a long time) and I’ve used it successfully before.
However, I wanted to make DVD ISOs for the purist edits I did of the Hobbit movies, and when I set it to the task, it runs for a while and then just stops. No pop-up errors or anything; it just quietly stops. It will do this for all three movie files. If I run it from a command prompt, this is the output:
There’s a devede in the standard repositories, but not devedeNG. There’s no devede in snap, so you couldn’t have installed it from there.
In order to try to find out how you installed it, please enter these three commands in a terminal and post the output (the last command might not have any output):
dpkg-query --status devede
ls -l /etc/apt/sources.list.d
grep -Fi devede /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*
leon@peyre:~$ dpkg-query --status devede

You would need to install from the developer’s .deb file (in the website posted above). The version in the Ubuntu 26.04 repository is the same as the snap package.
From what you’ve shown, this was installed via apt. That’s the version on the standard repositories. Reinstalling will simply reinstall what you already have. I don’t think that it’s being maintained on the standard repositories, because the 26.04 repositories have the same version.
I see that you have installed DVDStyler at some point. I don’t know if that would help?
If you want the latest version of DevedeNG, you will have to first uninstall Devede, and get the latest download from Rastersoft. Install the version for “Ubuntu noble”, which is 24.04.
Please check if similar issues have already been reported and resolved.
