Music & Video Apps Support

I got a notice that an update for VLC was available today and I selected to have it installed.

The package v1.7.1.0 (according to header):
!define PORTABLEAPPNAME "VLC Media Player Portable"
!define APPNAME "VLC"
!define NAME "VLCPortable"
!define VER "1.7.1.0"
!define WEBSITE "PortableApps.com/VLCPortable"
!define DEFAULTEXE "vlc.exe"
!define DEFAULTAPPDIR "vlc"
!define DEFAULTSETTINGSDIR "settings"
!define LAUNCHERLANGUAGE "English"

Some alterations bug me...on W7U
like more cpu usage.
Where can I get vlc portable 2.0.8?
So I can revert back to where I was.

the green button wants to download version 208, but this seem not exist , only 207 on the server?

Hi all,

new to portable apps. I downloaded portable vlc to play a series of MOV files in my possession.

When I play these files I only have audio, no video. I have tried playing with the settings in tool/preferences, with no joy. I thought it may have been the files, so I downloaded the quicktime alternative codec. I can play these files successfully on my pc since downloading quicktime alternative through IE browser.

I'm running Windows 7 SP1 - 64bit.

Any help to get these files to work will be appreciated.

Steps:

1. Download extract
2. Launch program
3. Splash screen

Defect: program does not start.

Some suggested workarounds:

* Reinstall C++ runtime - done, both x86 and 64 with no effect
* Try running audacity.exe directly - no effect, nothing happens

Any suggestions?

I configured the microphone settings as per tutorial. When I press the recording button I cannot hear the source. I can see it dancing actively on the bar, but cannot hear anything.
Clicked "stop" and then "play" to hear the result - now I can hear the source perfectly well.
What have I forgotten? Thank you.

Hello,

My VLC Portable (latest, 2.0.5) has strangely just stopped working. I upgraded it awhile ago (whenever it was released) and it was working fine.

When I try launching it (tried with a video file 'open with', launching the executable directly and via portable apps platform) it just does nothing.

Sometimes I see the splash image for a brief second, then nothing. No error message - and the process is not listed in task manager.

Would it be possible to "portablize" the %APPDATA%\vlc folder? One of its uses is to store a font cache, however, because it is deleted upon exit, VLC Portable always has to recreate the font cache when its started. This is rather inconvenient.

I have been editing a presentation of text, images and videos on a CD which should run under present and future windows versions starting from Windows 98. The programm "CDMenuePro" from http://www.cdmenupro.de/ has been used (30 days free trial version available) for this work. This has an imbedded video player which looks rather old and not accepts new compression codecs like MPG4.
Thus I installed VLC Portable 2.0.5 on this CD.
However there are problems when running a video from this CD.
under Windows 98 : not accepted by VLC Portable

I downloaded VLC portable 2.0.5 and can not get it to install to my desktop computer. The error says I need to install it to C:/Program Files or its sub directories which I have tried several times with no success. I can get VLC Portable to install to my USB drive, but I thought we were supposed to be able to install it to our local hard drive also. I have a Windows XP SP3 desktop computer. Thanks in advance.
