Make your audio and video files executable without a media player
by Brad Linder May 13th 2008
Want to send a friend an audio file, but don't know if they've got an audio player that can handle your OGG files? You could point them to the appropriate player and codec combo, or you could just make the file an executable. Audio/Video to Exe is a utility that lets you turn pretty much any audio file into a standalone media player.
The player is probably the simplest you've ever seen. There are no controls for play/pause or fast forward/rewind. In fact there are no controls at all. If you want the file to stop playing, you just close the program. But the media you create should be playable on any PC.
You can also use the program to convert files from one format to another. It can handle a wide array of audio and video formats, including 3GP, AAC, FLAC, MP2/3/4, OGG, and WAV, and WMA, WMV, FLV, SWF, ASF, and MOV. Audio/Video to Exe is available as a free download. Or you can buy the Pro version, which lets you adjust bit rates, for $32.27.

That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
