MediaCoder

MediaCoder, a free, open-source media conversion utility, has a tutorial on how to make it portable. On launch, it opens a browser, which would keep it from being portable(history). For some reason they ask to place a Firefox install in the folder... since its open-source, could someone design a PAF-compliant package of MediaCoder (w/whatever elements it asks for, i.e. Firefox)?

I'm almost there...

Well, I'm actually almost portable-app independent. I think three things that would be great are a file browser (Firefox isn't that great about folders), text editor (like Notepad...but more like Kate), and a terminal emulator (I've seen a lot of people request this: it seems like it would be hard to do, translating from DOS to BASH or typing drives).
