Where Does XMedia Recode Store Settings on Windows?
XMedia Recode settings, profiles and installed versus portable paths on Windows.
Last updated
XMedia Recode splits state between a settings INI and a Profile folder. The INI holds preferences. The Profile folder holds presets as INI and xmrpres files with formats beside them.
Installed and portable modes use different roots. Portable keeps the INI in the app folder only when flagged. Installed mode uses Roaming. Check the app folder first when the Roaming copy is missing.
Where XMedia Recode stores this, by platform
%AppData%\XMedia Recode\XMediaRecode.ini
Installed mode settings INI. Portable keeps it in the app folder when flagged Portable=1. Profiles live in Profile as INI and xmrpres files, formats in Format. Behavior varies across versions, so check both roots.
Frequently asked questions
How do I migrate XMedia Recode?
Save the Roaming INI for installed mode, or the app folder INI for portable mode, plus the Profile folder with xmrpres files. Restoring means putting both back with the app closed.
How do I tell portable from installed mode?
Open the program folder and look for an INI containing Portable=1. When present, settings stay local. Otherwise the app uses Roaming. Reports vary by version from 2.2 through 3.6, so check both spots.
