Music & Video Apps Support

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.

I downloaded VLCPortable 2.1.2 from https://portableapps.com/apps/music_video/vlc_portable

I also downloaded VLC 2.1.2 32 bits and 64 bits (7zip no installer version) from http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-windows.html

If I compare the versions from either portableapps to vlc ones, I have these information:
VLCPortable: 651 files, 250 folders; 72.3 Mb
VLC2.1.2-win64: 663 files, 242 folders, 97.9 Mb
VLC2.1.2-win32: 708 files, 245 folders, 98.7 Mb

So the portable version of VLC are about 30Mb fatter,
1/ how comes?
2/ Are they functionaly different?

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.
