 ***Note:*** Regardless of whether you enable the *portable* mode or not, the Simple x264/x265 Launcher application is **always** "portable", in the sense that the program is fully self-contained. It does *not* require any "external" libraries or frameworks to be installed on the computer. The only exceptions here are Avisynth and VapourSynth, which have to be installed *separately*, if they are needed. The *sole* purpose of the *portable* mode is to control where the configuration files will be stored. There is **no** such thing as a separate "portable" version of Simple x264/x265 Launcher.
 
+## VapourSynth
+
+There now is a "portable" edition **VapourSynth** available, which *Simple x264/x265 Launcher* can use. For this purpose, download the "portable" edition VapourSynth an *extract* it into the sub-directory `extra\VapourSynth` inside of the Simple x264/x265 Launcher "main" directory (i.e. where the `x264_launcher.exe` file is located). More specifically, the *32-Bit* version of "portable" VapourSynth needs to go to the `extra\VapourSynth\core32` sub-directory and the *64-Bit* version needs to go to the `extra\VapourSynth\core64` sub-directory. Be aware, however, that "portable" VapourSynth requires **embeddable Python** to work! So, you *must* download Python as "embeddable zip file" from the Python web-site and extract that into the same sub-directory as the VapourSynth "portable" binaries. In the end, it should look like this:
+```
+InstallPath\
+├─ x264_launcher_portable.exe
+└─ extra\
+   └─ VapourSynth\
+      ├─ core32\
+      │  ├─ python35.dll     <32-Bit>
+      │  ├─ VapourSynth.dll  <32-Bit>
+      │  ├─ VSPipe.exe       <32-Bit>
+      │  └─ etc…
+      └─ core64\
+         ├─ python35.dll     <64-Bit>
+         ├─ VapourSynth.dll  <64-Bit>
+         ├─ VSPipe.exe       <64-Bit>
+         └─ etc…
+```
+
+## Avisynth
+
+There now is a "portable" edition **Avisynth** available, which *Simple x264/x265 Launcher* can use. For this purpose, download and run the standard Avisynth 2.6 (or later) installer, but be sure to select *"Standalone, Unpack Files only"* as the installation type! Note that this needs to be selected on the *"Choose Components"* page of the installer. This will create a "portable" version of Avisynth in the selected output directory. Let the installer *extract* the Avisynth files into the sub-directory `extra\Avisynth` inside of the Simple x264/x265 Launcher "main" directory (i.e. where the `x264_launcher.exe` file is located). More specifically, the *32-Bit* version of "portable" Avisynth needs to go to the `extra\Avisynth\x86` sub-directory and the *64-Bit* version needs to go to the `extra\Avisynth\x64` sub-directory. In the end, it should look like this:
+```
+InstallPath\
+├─ x264_launcher_portable.exe
+└─ extra\
+   └─ Avisynth\
+      ├─ x86\
+      │  ├─ avisynth.dll  <32-Bit>
