Easy to use for somebody like me and results are generally good. Thats where the positives end though, all the bad things you read about this program are true. IMO build35 of this program is the only one worth using, newer versions progressively introduce more and more bugs along with horrid ad/spyware. With the exception of build35, AVOID THIS SOFTWARE. Use Xvid4PSP instead.

'Have successfully processed a couple of DVDs, but multiple reloads & restarts usually required. Hangs & crashes continually. This suprised me since it was such a recent build. If it could do what it's supposed to, it'd be a great tool, but unfortunately unreliable to the point of being unusable in my opinion. Have given up on it and am searching for a suitable alternative.

I always used it since 2006, I will always use it. Both office and own laptop FYI, Adware as mentioned above DOES NOT mean any threat. WINAMP is adware http://www.videohelp.com/tools/Winamp cause it recommend third party softwares, so what? they need to cover development cost, while still in conformity with all relevant standards. Microsoft and Google(yes indeed) together wiht Realplayer and even the AVG ANTIVIR are all Advertisers with Opencandy. SUPER is second to none in so many aspects. for the fellow "pintcat" saying that super "it uses a heavily outdated version of ffmpeg" please note that SUPER's ffmpeg has started encosing VP6/VP7/VP8 and Webm before any other freeware Mediacoder or other.. have you heard about DLL injection ? that's what's about. For God sake do not throw childish statements simply to go with the flow..

Interesting read, indeed! I stopped using SUPER© a long time ago, mainly due to the fact that it uses a heavily outdated version of ffmpeg. But I still recommended it to other people who were looking for a simple & fast way to convert or remux a video. Well, even this has come to an end now. Thank god there are many other (far better) front-ends for ffmpeg, mencoder and all the other tools, and so, hopefully, SUPER© will be forgotten soon and eRightSoft will be flamed down to their knees to show that exploiting people's trust is a bad idea for a business.

After seeing all the quirkiness on that eRightSoft site, I tracked down the e-mail address on the Whois report and wrote to it. At least I finally found an address connected to eRightSoft that does actually work. I addressed various issues as mentioned previously. Here's the progression of messages. Are these the kind of people whose software you want on your system? My first inquiry: ---------- Sent to try1fmk@yahoo.com Subject: Regarding eRightSoft site and Super Why isn't OpenCandy adware that's installed by recent versions of Super mentioned on the Super FAQ page on the eRightSoft site? Further, I note that your FAQ refers one to a Norton Safeweb site to substantiate that Super is malware free. However, the page at Norton Safeweb refers to the eRightSoft site, not the Super app itself. The forum for Super doesn't seem to actually exist. The link on the page just brings up a loading clock forever. Can't seem to locate 6614 Burton Dr. Louisville, KY on any mapping system. Hoping you can clarify these issues. Thanks. ---------- Their first response. Actually got a duplicate response from try1fmk@yahoo.com & support@erightsoft.net - note the .net extension, not the .com address that appears on their site: Re: Regarding eRightSoft site and Super If you ever try to install SUPER(C), which is a totally free software that has been hosted since 2005 and currently installed 15000 time a day, you will come across a page that you need to accept in order to be able to continue... **Editor's note - that's another thing, this copyright symbol after SUPER. Are they trying to claim a copyright on the word SUPER? It seems a trademark symbol would be appropriate, not a copyright symbol.** that's the END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT (EULA) page. Why don't you have a look at it, it covers all your queries.. For those who by nature are most of the time unhappy, or wouldn't stop nagging, the EULA says: DO NOT CLICK ON THE "I ACCEPT THE AGREEMENT" BUTTON BELOW IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND, YOU DISLIKE OR DISAGREE WITH THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS. Hope all is clear.. Sincerely, -Al ---------- My subsequent response: Re: Regarding eRightSoft site and Super "..Why don't you have a look at it, it covers all your queries.." Well, not quite. Such as why under the FAQ when Adware is specifically mentioned there's talk about false flagging due to heuristics but doesn't say "the app installs adware". Alerts regarding adware has nothing to do with heuristics, it has to do with the fact that the app installs adware. That would be an appropriate place to mention it instead of dancing around the subject. The EULA also doesn't address why the FAQ refers to the Norton Safe Web report to "prove" that Super has passed third-party inspection when that report has nothing to do with Super, just the eRightSoft site. Also not addressed in the EULA is why none of the contact email addresses currently listed on the eRightSoft site are valid. Ironically the privacy policy also references one of the non-functioning addresses. It also doesn't address why the links for forums don't actually link to forums just to load clocks. Or why there's nothing on the eRightSoft site about specifics related to the company - no names - no president, CEO, founder. Nothing about where the company is located. The address as listed in the Whois report doesn't seem to exist. Doesn't come up on Bing maps, Google maps, whitepages.com. Is the guy in the suit on the wide image on the home page banner someone who actually has anything to do with eRightSoft or just some model on a clip-art image? We're told the code for Super doesn't contain malware. Does it contain code to call in malware during install and/or after the fact? Many people in various forums seem to think it does. If you could clear up these concerns it would be great. ---------- Their response: Re: Regarding eRightSoft site and Super **Editor's note - the following (under "point 1") is a link to a report regarding a file related to the OpenCandy install. I'm not aware that it addresses any other aspect of the install of Super. In case something about the link doesn't work out with this comments section, since there's no edit function - here's a tinyurl for the same link - http://tinyurl.com/437vqbl ** point 1) http://www.virustotal.com/file-scan/report.html?i ... 1317114543 44 anti-virus editors are saying : OpenCandy is 100% clean **Editor's note - he doesn't address the rest of the Super install as I asked. ** what you say or other people believe is worthless. so does SUPER(C) whether you accept, admit, believe it or not.. Go and complain to your TV station that commercials are so annoying in the middle of a movie. Tell them how much you feel irritated by these commercials that you never asked to watch !! you don't want commercials, you pay a private channel. The same applies everywhere. If you do not understand this concept, you are still far far behind. point 2) All our email addresses are perfectly valid and fully running on very sophisticated servers. If WE NEED you: we let you in, otherwise you are systematically kicked out. We could grant you access in a second, But WE DO NOT need you or have any business with you. We have no relation other than providing a freeware with NO COUNTERPART. you could either accept or decline the EULA, period. **Editor's note - they then include a list of bounces of my intial attempts to email the addresses shown on the "Contact Us" portion of the site. Certainly a curious attitude related to publicly listed contact info, eh? I've just included the first one. I've redacted my email and ISP info. These were attempts made before I contacted the address listed on the Whois report, they didn't have a chance to get pissed at me for asking pesky questions yet. ** email 220-uunet.com ESMTP IBM 6621 « Mail service ® 1998-2011; Sat, 24 Sep 2011 03:51:44 +0200 IP address : [redacted] IP country code: US IP address country: United States IP address state: Georgia IP address city: Atlanta IP postcode: 30303 IP address latitude: [redacted] IP address longitude: [redacted] ISP of this IP [?]: [redacted] Host of this IP: [redacted] Local time in United States: 2011-09-27 06:10 [redacted] [0000175C] Sat, 24 Sep 2011 03:51:44 +0200 Connected [redacted] [0000175C] Sat, 24 Sep 2011 03:51:44 +0200 >>> 220-uunet.com ESMTP IBM 6621 « Mail service ® 1998-2011; Sat, 24 Sep 2011 03:51:44 +0200 [redacted] [0000175C] Sat, 24 Sep 2011 03:51:45 +0200 250-uunet.com Hello [redacted] [[redacted]], pleased to meet you.

Thanks, I understand the Adware issue now, but not having downloaded the program from here I had no way of knowing. Also, interesting thread, especially the part about trying to get straight answers and document-able proof of nastiness related to using Super. To add to the issues here, I used Super(c) to convert my glitchy MGEG2 files to AVI, then checked them using GSpot, and GSpot showed that Super(c) had added its name in three places in the file's metadata, and GSpot said that there were 3+ GB of unused bits past the video! Hopefully there was an error in closing the file and nothing more sinister than that. In the end Prism Video Convereter ended up doing a good job with these conversions and that will be my first choice from here out.

Per mike20021969: "...Regarding people being suspicious of Super, it does say under Type: Adware..." To clarify this point, it's classified as Adware here on Videohelp, however eRightSoft doesn't say anything about Adware, they conspicuously avoid any mention of the Adware's presence on their website. In fact, as I pointed out below, they imply that there isn't any adware, attributing flags by malware/adware detection apps to be merely due to overzealous heuristics. This is deceptive and misleading. The even more important question is whether it does other things after being installed to attract genuine malware. On this post user aedipuss shows a log that appears to show malware directly related to Super. http://forum.videohelp.com/threads/339221-Is-Supe ... ost2108680 The smoke and mirrors game on the eRightSoft site doesn't inspire trust. A reputable company wants you to know about them and wouldn't have all these blind alleys on their website - non-working email addresses, non-existent forums, referrals to websites to "prove" how reliable their app is that don't actually address the app in question. Further they wouldn't go out of their way to make it impossible to contact them. For all I know "eRightSoft" could be one guy. I wouldn't bet money that the guy pictured on the website banner has any connection to eRightSoft, that it isn't just some stock "corporate" clip-art image. I just e-mailed the address referenced below in their domain registration. I'll report back what if any response I get.

I'm using build 42, although I just downloaded but will not install build 49 for reasons listed in teh comments below, and due to my experience. Read on. I just completed some mpeg -> avi conversions. My mpeg files had issues due to dodgy power for the cameras, and Super dealt with them fine. After they were done I checked them using MediaPlayer and noticed a "created by Super..." tag on the top of the screen. In "Properties" for my video file I saw that they had added themselves as a contributing artist. Tacky and unforgivable. Midway through the conversions (I was converting 6 video files) I got an error message, something about a Java error on line(0), plus the mention of a web page a eRightSoft. WTF? I had already checked for updates. What is this damned thing doing? I'm done with eRightSoft, much like I gave up, exasperated, with that AVI Converter software that is all over their web pages. It's actually difficult to find the Super download. I emailed support at eRightSoft and the email came back in a few minutes, rejected. "access not allowed". I don't have a problem paying for good software. I'd be happy to pay eRightSoft for an honest version of their program. Or rather, I would have been.

Regarding people being suspicious of Super, it does say under Type: Adware. I no longer use Super, and haven't done for quite a while. I always found it very slow (compared to the likes of HandBrake/VidCoder etc.).

The app itself works fine but after hearing a lot about suspicions regarding malware related to Super I've done some investigating. Some things I've found since first posting that don't cause me to look positively on eRightSoft. Their website has a number of issues. Recent releases of Super installs Adware called OpenCandy which I was alerted to by Microsoft Security Essentials. I'd never heard of OpenCandy before. Their FAQ page regarding Super says it's malware free. It doesn't say a word about OpenCandy. On principle I don't have a problem with there being adware that comes up during install - I think most people would understand "these brief commercials are how we're able to offer this app for free". OpenCandy may not be malware per se, but in the interest of disclosure they should say something about it. But there's nothing about adware anywhere on the page. Seems obvious to me that there should be. The way the issue is even addressed is dodgy. It's prefaced with a question that among other things, specifically addresses adware. The reason an anti-adware app would alert isn't because of heuristics giving a false flag, it's because there's adware in the app. This is what's on their FAQ page as of the time this is written: [quote]Q.033 After or during the installion of SUPER © my Anti-vir, Anti-adware, Anti-spyware, Anti-malware warned me of a serious security threat. Why is that? A. SUPER © is 100% clean of any malicious code. Check the NORTON Safeweb report. We have counted 23 specialized download sites proposing SUPER © for download as a safe 100% clean package. When you encounter a false detection, it is mostly heuristic, meaning that the anti-vir wasn't able to parse and recognize the written code, so the file was flaged "suspicious, heuristic or gen (generic)" by default. Due to the .exe files packer (tELock) used for almost all the files in the package in order to compress, protect and preserve the integrity of our code, some anti-malware/vir may trigger a false detection as the tElock (Encryptor/Compressor) crypts the files before packing them. A great deal of security is therefore achieved, preventing against the reverse engineering of our codes, but the drawback of this protection is that some Anti-vir cannot even parse correctly the file to scan it, so they flag it "suspicious". Any (with no exception) .exe or .dll file packed/crypted/protected with tElock may trigger a false detection with those "heuristic based" Anti-vir programs. You may try tElock to pack any executable file of your choice to test it on your favorite Anti-vir. Advanced Anti-malware/vir like McAfee, Norton, Sophos.. are already aware of the tElock usage in our package and do not trigger anymore those false detections. If your Anti-vir database is updated online by your anti-vir application, we suggest you send a copy of the flaged file to your anti-vir author to update and correct its database. If any file of the package has been deleted or blocked by your Anti-malware/vir, SUPER © will become totally inactive, and won't start anymore![/quote] Further, note that it claims that Norton's Safeweb site supports the non-malware claim and provides a link to Norton summary page. Thing is, the page is about the eRightSoft site, not about the Super app itself. Very deceptive wording. There's a link to a forum for Super and another of their apps - not under "Forums" but under "Messages" - but these forums are non-existent. Whether these forums ever existed I can't say but the link brings up a load clock which loads forever. Above the load clock is the verbiage "Give your feedback and comments, share them with other users, ask, complain, encourage.." None of the five email addresses listed under "Contact" are valid. After trying all of them, they all bounced back as undeliverable. Ironically, under their "Privacy Policy" they reference one of the non-functional addresses for any concerns. Under their "About Us" link, you won't find the name of an actual person - president, CEO, founder. You also won't find anything about where the company is located. Just some typical verbiage about their methodology and commitment. A Whois lookup brings up this information: Registrant: F.Michel Gebrael 6614 burton drive Louisville, Kentucky 40221 United States Registered through: GoDaddy.com, Inc. (http://www.godaddy.com) Domain Name: ERIGHTSOFT.COM Created on: 23-Nov-05 Expires on: 23-Nov-11 Last Updated on: 19-Nov-10 Administrative Contact: Martinbaker, Fred try1fmk@yahoo.com 6614 burton drive Louisville, Kentucky 40221 United States +1.5026411211 Thing is, if you look at Google maps, it brings up no Burton Dr. in Louisville, KY. There's a Bucky Burton Rd (shown as Bucky Burton Dr in Bing maps) and a Burton Ave. The specific address as listed doesn't show in either Bing maps or Google maps. None of this says "trustworthy" to me.

ok i'm going to ignore all the spyware crap etc. because i opted out of installing it with the latest download however, used to work perfectly before i got the latest build, and now it mostly refuses to even encode anything. i cant open my earlier versions either now. Ive been using this program for several years now but it looks like its time to move on to something else for good :/
|
|||||||||||||||
I think some of the comments here are unjust. I've been using Super for several years. It's stable and delivers. It's the only encoder I've tried that has the option to put the metadata at the beginning of an h.264/MP4 file so it streams when embedded on a web page (other options > streamable h.264). With all other encoders (including Sony Vegas) this has to be fixed before uploading (MetadataMover is a good free utility for this). Considering the millions of websites that now want to stream h.264 this is a major omission in other encoders. Yes there is some optional adware when you install Super. Just untick if you don't want it and the authors explain why some people might experience a false positive with anti-virus software. My system is like Fort Knox yet I don't get any warning personally. Anyway, don't be put off trying Super. It's excellent.

Super build 49 will not install at work because IT has blocked the download of some imbedded crapware function. It always tries to download a file that - by the way has a different file name every time I try to install it. At home, I can install it with no problems but I get all these crapware options I must "decline" and uncheck first. Build 48 installs at work with no problem. I would give this program a 10 for being a problem solver but now it has become the problem itself.

This is the best, "all you can get" converter software. It converts all your media to any format, easy to use (if you know some basic kpbs, fps, format stuff), simple and fast. But its setup file is a major pain. The latest build setup file contains unnecessary bloats that keep asking you to install other software, not needed in the actual software. And in my PC, it tries to connect to the internet during setup, and stuck there forever. no problem in my connection. I disconnect internet, but it still stuck there. Sometimes, magically it finishes the setup, but the software can't open at all. I tried reinstalling, with internet connection (maybe its trying to download something for the installation), It works after a few tries, but still the software can't be open. This sucks! I had no problem at all using the older Nov 2010 build. This is all because of those "extra" shit they put inside their setup file! I'm still using the old build, and you should too.

During instalation,my Kaspersky 2010 caught ___ Win32.Agent.uwx___. Softpedia treats this app as " ad-supported" : "Reasons why this program is marked as ad-supported: · Offers to download or install software or components (RealPlayer, Registry Reviver) that the program does not require to fully function". That´s enough for me .One can find way better (and cleaner) apps here.

I have been using super for a few years now and it is a great converter. The problem is the latest version has a ton of bloat ware stuff that it loads, without my permission. Some stupid toolbar gets loaded, and my default search engine got changed to bing in 2 different browsers none the less. I hate the newest version due to this crap. I've uninstalled it and gone to handbrake instead. IT doesn't convert as many formats, but it doesn't load crap either.
|
|||||||||||||||
Use to be a big fan of Super because it handles so many formats, but just loaded the latest version after it prompted me to uninstall the existing version and it took over my computer. It loaded a bunch of crap without permission and even when Scotty the watchdog warned me about it, when I tried to stop it it wouldn't let me. I uninstalled it but I still have the toolbar, all I could do was uncheck it so it wouldn't show. Now I have to run a full scan of antivirus, malwarebytes and spybot to make sure something else didn't sneak in. This will take a couple of hours and I am p*ssed. Why would they do this to a formally terrific software? It's more than just adware, it's bloatware. Don't risk loading it despite what the previous comment says.

Version build 2.0.11.46 from erightsoft.com includes two options during the install process to realplayer and one other ... simply answer no and continue. Absolutely no issues or any other system modifications made during the install process. Still the choice for converting those stubborn video clips which other programs find difficult or choke.

|||||||||||||||
Just installed the latest version. I downloaded it direct from videohelp.com. The version I installed contained a lot of ad-ware stuff. It changed all of my defaults to "Bing" search engine. Pissed about that. It installed something called a whitesmoke toolbar. My Norton killed that... but I truly wasn't happy with all the garbage that got tacked onto Super. If that's how it is, I'll stick to using the last version from November 2010. Truly stupid.
