Application: Avidemux
Category: Music & Video
Description: Avidemux Portable is the popular Avidemux packaged with a PortableApps.com Launcher as a portable app, so you can take your video editor with you. It has all the same great features as Avidemux including cutting, filtering and encoding. It supports many file types, including AVI, DVD compatible MPEG files, MP4 and ASF, using a variety of codecs. Tasks can be automated using projects, job queue, powerful scripting capabilities and more. Plus, it leaves no personal information behind on the machine you run it on, so you can take your video editor with you wherever you go.

Release Notes:
2.5.1 Development Test 1 (2009-08-21): Initial release
-
Qt version from this ZIP file
-
GTK files removed were:
gtk-2.0 (dir) (from etc)
gtk-2.0 (dir) (from lib)
share (dir)
avidemux2_gtk.exe
gtk2_prefs.exe
Perhaps there are some more. You tell me... :-)
Other files removed were:
avidemux2_cli.exe (Command Line Interface)
-
The zip file version of Avidemux doesn't seem to use the registry, making it more portable 'out of the box' than the installer they offer. However, during language testing, there was an
Avidemux entry created in HKCU. I couldn't reproduce this again but the launcher is backing up (but not saving) that key 'just in case'. You may never see it... but if you do, tell me how you did it!
-
I have left AVSProxy in there. I haven't used it so it's NOT TESTED. It does leave the registry key
MuldeR in HKCU which the launcher backs up and saves if it's created. By the look of it, I'm assuming it will contain paths so the drive letter will be adjusted in the reg file.
-
UPX'ed Avidemux directory (default settings).
-
Language support. Patchy at best
:-)
The only way to change the language is by using the PortableApps.com Platform. The launcher is temporarily setting an environment variable read from the menu.
Full support for... English (built in), Czech, French, Italian and Chinese (Traditional).
Partial support for... Catalan (which won't work, see here), German, Greek, Spanish, Japanese, Portugese (Brazilian), Russian, Serbian (not PortableApps.com Platform compatible), Serbian (Latin) and Turkish.
-
MRU list is still stored in a binary config file which the launcher can't write to.
-
Project and job files contain absolute paths so are not portable. I can fix this but it means adding project names, job names and the location of your projects folder to "AvidemuxPortable.ini". Perhaps this is overkill for most users who just need a quick edit on the go. If there are any requests I will add it to dev test 2.
2.4.4 Development Test 1 (2009-05-28): Initial release
-
Qt version.
-
English only, no command line interface, no avsproxy.
-
Paths won't follow drive letter as prefs stored in binary config file (can't read/write with text replace).
-
No UPX yet.

Tested with: XP SP2

Review
I tried the app. I don't know if the original software's the same, but it seemed to have a hard time saving projects. i kept getting a message "error 0(no error)".
I can save them OK here. It
I can save them OK here. It comes a bit unstuck if the drive letter changes (see point three above) so not quite as portable as it could be
Something to do with that perhaps?
Sweet! I'll give this a try!

I gave it a go - XP pro SP2
I compressed the avidemux directory with appcompactor.
The program appears to still function ok. The installed size came down to less tham 10 Mb. Unfortunately it is not suitable for my needs.
Sorry to hear you can't use
Sorry to hear you can't use it, but thanks for testing, I'll give the compression a go on the next release (if there is one!)

upx in 2.5.1
Hi prapper,
I've tried to upx the dll/exe-files myself (using both "--best --compress-icons=0" and defaults) but get errors after launching, mostly "Entry point not found" errors. After running "upx -d " I've got several "CantUnpackException: pointer out of range; take care!" errors.
How did you manage to compress the files?
As far as I remember, I just
As far as I remember, I just sent the Avidemux directory to AppCompactor with the default settings, as it says in the release notes. I don't think I've ever used any of the other compression methods to be honest, as I never compress anything if it's only for my own use. Sorry not to be more helpful.
Thanks for the info
I've just looked at the source code of AppCompactor. It does indeed a decompression test and if this fails, it does leave the original file intact. So I've written a similar 4nt-script and stole the logic shamelessly off AppCompactor
Official Release
This works great you should think about the official release.
