Did you start it with the portable.bat file provided, or by other means use the -portable command line switch? If so, it should have created a new pvdconfig.ini and empty database in the installation folder.

Unzipping over the previous folder did not work. I had to delete the whole folder and then install new. What I do not get: it found the database wihtout asking me. The database resides outside of the application folder. How is this possible? Since I use the portable version there should not be an ini file or something in the registry stored!?

If using a portable version, it does not mean that nothing is stored in the registry.
If you have PVD start with viddb.exe, these data are linked to pvdconfig.ini, which is for example in the following folder:
C: \ Documents and Settings \ Administrator \ Application Data \ Personal Video Database (Administrator - in my case is called so, this folder can also be called otherwise).
If you run the PVD as stated by rick.ca

or this AutoIt script (alternative to portable.bat)[viddb_p.exe], these data are linked to pvdconfig.ini in the installation folder.

There is no portable.bat after installation...?

I am complete lost now.
There is no pvdconfig.ini in any of my profile folders (windows 7) and not in the local installation folder. Still the application did know where my DB is after deleting the install folder and reinstall.
And why on earth would a portable version of an application store anything on the computer? The complete mean of a portable version is to have it portable and do not depend on anything being stored in any other location than in the intall dir.
:(

For Windows 7 I do not know how and what is there, because it does not yet I use. Will know the one which is already using Windows 7.
