I know of virtualdub but it's too complicated for me and it can't burn dvd's (if it can I have no clue how).
I went onto Sourceforge and found Vivia ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/vivia/ )
and Avstodvd ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/avstodvd/ )
Neither of them depend on virtual machines.
I have searched the web, as well as this site and portablefreeware.com for an easier version of virtualdub.

LyX

Lyx is a great latex editor which I find essential for writing math and engineering, It requires a basic miktex system, gsview, imagemagick, and aspell spell check dictionary. I forget what else. Would be great if it were portable.

ExplorerXP

I use this program (ExplorerXP) and like the tabbed interface. I would like to use it from my flash drive. I searched and found it on portablefreeware.com. It was a wrapper for the application and linked to mi3soft.info. The owner of the site no longer has the wrapper on his site and I cannot find another site that has the wrapper available for download. I was wondering if anybody knows where I can get the wrapper, or if someone can make another one. I would make one, but I have no idea how to.

Thanks

alternative real autostart for usb-sticks like U3 ?

Submitted by thetrueholly on December 17, 2007 - 10:00am

i'd like to have a real autostart for my PAM, like an alternative for the U3-standard, where i only have to plug-in the usb-stick and the PAM starts automatically without doing anything-
now i realized, that the fritz! wlan-stick i use for my notebook, works the same way as the U3-system, because it also seems to have a partition which simulates a cd-drive and therefore starts and installs the included fritz! software automatically.
now my question: is it possible to copy this to a normal usb-stick to use this autostart-function/ did anyone try this before?
