    Hi all,

    I’ve recently bought an usb memory stick that, besides a mass storage device, can also run apps without installing in the pc.

    I have found out there is a portable version of Audacity, but can’t find anything else video/audio related.

    The apps that I most use are VirtualDubMod, Tmpgenc, TDA, DVDLab Pro, and EncWavtoAC3, plus Gspot and VideoHelp bitrate calculator.

    Do you know if there are similar apps that can be run from a memory stick?

    TIA.

    I carry a portable version of audacity, firefox 2 and VLC, all from Portable Apps. Googling for portable apps also found me a few others including a packet sniffer, HDD diagnostics, file recovery tools and a few others. Pretty much anything that has a standalone exe, doesn't need the registry, or can be unzipped to a single folder will work. Virtualdub is a good example. AVIDemux can also be unzipped to and run from a USB key.
