Audacity changed to the new FFMpeg 2.2.2 library. The entry in the audacity.cfg is always reset to "...\\avformat-52.dll" whereas with release of Audacity 2.0.6 the new avformat-55.dll is used. the older one is not recognized anymore.

The entry in launcher.ini (line 56) has to be changed from

Value=%PAL:AppDir:DoubleBackslash%\\FFMpeg\\avformat-52.dll

to

Value=%PAL:AppDir:DoubleBackslash%\\FFMpeg\\avformat-55.dll

This can also be used as workaround until an updated build is released.

My VLC on the usb stick refused to work, so I went to install it again.

However the downloaded files refuse to install, I downloaded it few times and get error that file not OK.

Is there a problem or should I investigate more?

i am making a distributable usb for a charity.

i have vlc port on a usb, and also a folder called 'video' containing a single m4v file. (the video is in it's own folder in case people want to download it to their pc)

i also created a shortcut in the root of the usb pointing to a playlist of the single video so that when clicked, it automatically plays the video.

this works well on the computer it was created on, but not, of course, when used on another where the drive letter for the usb might have changed.

i recently came a cross a mercury p4 board. i asssmbled it ,with sp 3 running. i installed vlc 1.1.4 and it neared completion than brot an error. and amiaizlngly finished installin. but then wont start when i click on the desktop vlc button ...any advice on this matter ..

Hi,

I wanted to convert my .amr files to mp3.

In VLC, I choose Convert/Save, then add the file and then choose the Convert/Save button and in the drop down menu I choose Convert and it *plays* the file but it doesn't save it as a separate mp3 file.

If I highlight the file in the Add window list and right click I get the same options.

Could someone who has successfully converted and saved a .amr file as an MP3 file please share the exact step-by-step process?

Thank you.

Probably due to program updates expanding the supported formats, but the Audacity write-up should be changed.

The Audacity download page shows:

Edit Ogg Vorbis, MP3, and WAV sound files.

But Audacity's home page description shows:

Edit WAV, AIFF, FLAC, MP2, MP3 or Ogg Vorbis sound files.

Thanks!

Since i've updated i can't use VLC anymore, it always crashes when i try to play anything.

we can use a Linux PC (but only with a Guest account)
That is a wonderful solution for things which are
=> either installed already - and routine like internet access -
=> or to be used externally, with a web application using a browser window

now it seems there is no audacity WEB app, so it would be great to have "AUDACITY2go" on a USB stick or CDrom or DVD

how to get that?
does that exist?
is it "systemically" impossible to make that?
does nobody need that, except us ???

Every time I close Audacity, the "Portable Settings" folder becomes empty and all the settings reset to default.
Update1: I relaunched the PortableApps.com platform, and now it looks like Audacity saves settings properly. When I close Audacity, the "Portable Settings" folder disappears (not just becomes empty, like it did before) and then on the next launch all the settings are back. Still, I think the problem exists in the case when you just fresh-installed Audacity and haven't relaunched the platform yet.
