QT on Win: possible deal-breaker, need alternative

[François Chaplais]

wouldn't a batch converter do the trick?
Is someone familiar with audacity on the list? Will it do it?
BTW, people that will not install QT will not, I suspect, install runrev's browser plugin :-(

The client is discussing this with his customers to determine whether it will be acceptable to them to install QT on their systems.  In the event that those customers say no I need a backup, and preferably one which lets me deliver this project in Rev.
