OK, if that could be done and for example that meant that if the ffmpeg exe was run in the same folder as "portable VS" and it worked then that could well be close enough for some purposes ( eg mine
).
Do you know of the current ffmpeg change proposal (per the link above) achieves that including delayed loading of python or are there more changes needed ?
Also, I wonder if the same portable VS folder structure is needed for plugins DLLs etc which I guess can't be statically linked in either, I suppose it is.
