Portable apps maker examples: cameyo, vmware, thinapp, etc.

There are many programs which work by taking a initial snapshot of the system and comparing with a final one make portable apps.
However these apps themselves require an installation.

I would be glad if someone makes a "app maker"
Cameyo and VM Ware Thin App are two such softwares and i know they are not opensource but someone could try making them and it will be a landmark success if someone does because then all other apps can be made in a jiffy.

I know the programs will need admin rights but then that's ok as long no permanent changes are made.

TEncoder

TEncoder is a multithreaded video and audio converter that uses MEncoder, MPlayer and FFMpeg. It can convert almost every video and audio type to each other. Subtitles with same name as video can be hard-coded into video. Up to 8 simultaneous encoders can be run so encoding time decreases. You can select between multiple audio and subtitle tracks. Extracting video or audio content is possible. Edit subtitle and audio delays and part of video that will be encoded. Effects like deinterlacing or cropping can be applied to videos.
