Music & Video Apps Support

I found a link today on Audacity's website for the newest version (1.3.5 at time of this post) as a zip file. They list it as an option for those at a computer lab that cannot run the installer. I was able to uzip the file at work and run the program without installing. I haven't tried it from my thumbdrive yet, so I don't know what glitches or problems there might be, but from my desktop it seems to work fine!

Here's the link: http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/beta_windows#recdown (under "Optional Downloads")

I am on a hot project to create some documentation based on AVIs created with SnagIt 8 that include both video and sound. On playback I can only get the sound. I have VLC 0.8.6c running on WinXP Pro SP4.

is there a way to condense the whole package down to a single exe file? i've tried the usual methods (winrar, iexpress, bat2exe converter, etc.), but they haven't worked that well.

thanks!

Not sure if this is a portable bug or with VLC itself, but it might be the portable, so here goes:

* I create a shortcut to VLCPortable.exe
* i add "-help" to the shortcut
* I click the shortcut
* A console window opens and tells me the help has been dumped to vlc-help.txt

So far that's fine.

However - given that I have set the option in VLCPortable/VLC to use English (instead of the machine default language) I would expect the vlc-help.txt to be in English as well - but it isn't - half of it is in English, and half of it is in the machines default language.

My VLC Portable is playing a song but no sound is coming out, the file is m4a i think. Help!

I cant fast forward. Whenever I do it restarts the entire media file. Music and video.

EDIT: After checking the original site for info it has come to my attention that this only applies to FLV. For more info see below.

If this error occurs with other formats to anyone else please let me know.

Hello

To fix this problem, you just need to go in Preferences -> Interface -> General Interface -> Now, in dropdown menu(Interface Module), choose Interface Skinnable. Save and restart VLC media player.

bye.

I'm surprised no one's reported this, or at least not that I saw. Just wanted to point out for a couple of releases now, VLC Portable does not create 'Data' (installer does anyways), but furthermore, Data\'settings', so you get an error saying it doesn't exist.

It's easy for most users to figure out they need to create it, but obviously the launcher should.

Is this just me, or did everyone on a clean install actually miss this?

my volume control appears to be correct. other applications are making noise. no error messages. whats going on??

sessions still load, etc..

So, i have VLC Portable and i'm having problems playing a video that has a new codec. i need the H264 codec. However, when i tried to install it on my flash drive...nothing happened. The video still couldn't be understood by VLC. what's going on? how can i get the codec to install on my flashdrive so VLC can understand it?
