HappyTime Video Converter portable:
Extract HappyTime Video Converter installer (happytime-video-converter-setup.exe- both Universal Extractor (the updated version) and InnoExtractor managed to extract it but 7-Zip failed), the program is inside {app} folder (everything else can be deleted), locate VideoConverter.exe and run it, all data and settings are saved in VideoConverter.cfg file inside program folder. Check for updates automatically: should be disabled since there won't be any new versions.

HappyTime Video Converter note:
HappyTime Video Converter has been discontinued (most likely the source code has been sold). The last version is 2 years old yet HappyTime Video Converter still works fine, it is fully portable, it has a clean and nice GUI (drag&drop is supported too) and it comes with a video editor and a built-in player. In my opinion HappyTime Video Converter is a very capable video converter with one major flaw- it doesn't support Unicode so videos with names containing Unicode characters cannot be added to the converter. As a workaround such videos can be renamed before processing.

Thanks for the test and yes, HappyTime Video Converter is not stealth. However I found only a single happetimesoft folder containing LOG files.

The program is looking really good with many worth functions! Alltough any converted video ended up at 1kb with no video material or alternatively it gave an message that it had failed to convert.. Maybe it will work for better for someone ellse, if it does it is defenitely worth an download...
