PocketDivXEncoder!! IS IT PORTABLE!?

Submitted by nova_seph on May 7, 2006 - 12:03pm

I've just found out this cool app. It's a PocketVideo encoder, it err...encodes video files to a format suitable to many PDAs or HandHelds. I just downloaded it and saw it was just an executable, didn't write anything to the app folder, don't know about registry, can someone check if it's truly portable?

It ain't opensource but it is free.
i also hadn't seen any app like this (i mean, it's focused on PPC video format converter)
ENJOY!!

Portable Mirc client

Submitted by johndoe2k4 on May 5, 2006 - 3:01pm

Hi,

I think that there should be a portable IRC client. I personally love Mirc because it has a very powerful scripting language and it is easy to create add-ons. I have already created my own "portable" version of Mirc that I use daily. It also has a relatively small footprint (about 3 MB). There is no installer necessary and I have configured a few options to keep the footprint as small as possible ( Such as disabling logging of chats, and prompting for location to save files to when downloading).

I have a question though about this. Mirc is shareware software. After 30 days it displays nagware to register but you can continue using it.That won't be a problem as far as this site is concerned is it ?

A portable app to sync files between computer and usb

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on May 5, 2006 - 7:38am

i just started using portable apps.. some of the apps like firefox and thunderbird have default setting changed(like no email address added to addressbook on mail send or no history for web addresses) to reduce number of writes to usb.

Can I have a portable app that I can use to sync files between computer and usb. So when I start working in office I run the sync app and all the usb data is copied to the computer. I use this portable apps from my computer so I dont need to reduce number of writes. When I am done I sync the folder to update any changed files to the usb. I take my usb home and do the same sequence. This way I reduce the number of writes. The app could have an option to delete files securily from the computer after sync( useful when working from a shared pc).

Portable ImageMagick?

Submitted by Lensman on May 2, 2006 - 4:50pm

Hi John, hi everyone,

if one uses xampp for development - as I do from the stick sometimes at customers PC's - certain software often is required.
Among these is ImagMagick, expecially with PHP development.
As for another often required software, JAVA, there are a lot of tips to make it portable but ImageMagick "on the stick" would be nice...

Multimedia Indexing/Player

Submitted by nm35 on May 1, 2006 - 2:04pm

I have about 30 DivX videos and over a thousand MP3s, WMAs, and M4As burned to some CD-Rs. I'm looking for a "library" system that would let me type in what I want to watch/listen to, and it tells me what CD it's on. I'm also looking for a portable media player with playlist support -- I'd love to use VLC, if it supports it; I've never really touched it. Would anyone have any ideas?
