I used super in the past for a wile and it was OK. Tried recently again, but encountered some problems. The settings sometime don't allow for default/original video source values, so you are forced to use the drop down values. The program also has installed its own codec libraries and has replaced some of the installed ones in PC. Some conversions started to crash. At the end, I couldn't close the application!!! After multiple install/uninstall/restart process I had to give up. Too buggy and aggressive (the website is a mess). Fortunately, there are better freeware alternatives there.

Can't start the program it keeps crashing on startup. Not impressed.

I checked in here to see if perhaps the authors of Super had corrected their malicious installation practices. I note that yet another person posted a comment (subsequent to my April comments) that once you have installed the latest version, you can't go back to previous versions. Notwithstanding the rant by (I assume) someone connected with Super, it's axiomatic that all programs should enable users to cleanly uninstall them, without leaving obscure registry flags, or other hidden corruptions of the local system designed to limit their ability to drop back to an earlier release. The fact that this has been reported by multiple people posting reviews here, is sufficient to lead me to distrust this software. Apropos the allegations of bias against Super, I used it for quite a few years, and considered it a very valuable tool all that time. It was only when I consulted these reviews and found others reporting anomalies in it's behavior that concerned me that I opted to stop using it. If the authors think they have a right to prevent me from dropping back to an earlier version, it leads me to question what other liberties they might choose to take with my system, hence my conclusion that it is unsafe to install their products. Fortunately, after dropping Super, I found Any Video Converter (Free), which has a superb, very clean and easy to use GUI, as well as a very sophisticated way of providing intelligent default conversion settings, while leaving the user the option of tweaking them precisely to suit special needs. One of the problems with Super has always been that with so many configuration options, some combinations don't work, or may violate standards. AVC anticipates some of those (mono audio inputs to outputs requiring stereo for example) and performs a smart conversion when necessary. Since I haven't used Super for 8 months, I don't know if they have similar features now or not, but I'm unwilling to even give it a test run given yet another report that their installation process tampers with the local system. I have no connection with AVC, other than as a very appreciative user of a very well engineered product. If anyone is interested in doing a comparison, it can be found here: (http://www.any-video-converter.com/products/for_video_free/)

Having some issues since the update. I frequently re-encode fraps videos to mkv containers selecting h264/avc with aac audio. since the update, the issue i am having is the audio portion. it does not allow me to select 48000hz with 6 channels even though the pop-up info bar shows that as the option. this is also the same option that i have been selection without any issues until now. it will only allow me to select 6 channels at 44000hz. If i select ac3, i can select 6@48hz, however the audio of the encode sounds like the transformers transmission. any help would be appreciated in the for of a solution or another application. thanks.

Thank you erightsoft for this great freeware Now with this new release I can encode all my FLV(H264) files to my PSP or directly DeMux AVI or FLV files and extract their mp3 audio without any encoding. Great application, been using it since 2007.

Magnificent application, each new update brings additional power. I love the new implemebted muxing feature, been waiting long time for it. This 2009build36 run like a charm on my laptop, i already encoded and entire dvd for my iPhone. A small note to "klourash" who posted earlier, open the "Other Opts" button and uncheck the "Hide Subtitles".

I have used this tool over several versions with mixed results. I usually use it as a last resort. It expects to be in the middle of the screen no matter what and will move to center every time one changes an option. The options are well laid out and there are a great selection of settings. It has a great Properties window to show the file specs - very useful. It's a tossup whether a given mix of setting will produce a good file or bomb, but I guess that's to be expected, given the many video and audio codecs in use today. I have gotten burned many times when I changed one setting and other settings changed without notice. One has to review every option in the window before starting conversion, or unnoticed option changes may give an undesired result. When I updated to build 36, it seems the subtitle feature (to put subtitles in AVI files) is no longer implemented. When I tried (many times, with variations) to go back to build 35 or 33, they would no longer run, though they seemed to install OK. I assume the author does not want users to go back to an earlier version.

My favorite encoder player, easy to use very fast and unlike many other encoders, it accepts all kinds of inputs and is frequently updated to continuously add great features although it is a freeware. for "cosmotopper" claiming it's a malware and spreading the bad-mouth about this great application and confirming never using it again, why would you really bother to continue to post repeatedly in here (Posted April 05, 2009 by cosmotopper.) and (Posted April 13, 2009 by cosmotopper.) if really this freeware is the last thing you care about. If you really don't care about it, simply forget it and find yourself some other application. Unless, you have a specific reason, or a specific target to discredit SUPER and try desperately to promote some other application. SUPER has been around since 2005, before all these new Windows GUI multimedia encoders start to appear whether as freeware or as commercial applications. Do you really think you are the unique smarthead to detect a malware while more than 10 million users are still happily using it. I am not going to mention Google search where erightsoft is listed in about 900 links, I would only talk about YouTube where happy users provide more than 180 links promoting SUPER http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=eRightSoft. Are they all wrong? do you think none of them has ever heard of an Anti-Vir?

Cosmo: Just use the direct link download mirror and you don't have to go thru the different screens on the website. But tell me, how do you justify giving it a 2 for value, WHEN IT'S FREEEEEE???!!!

My decision to stop using this program was based on two things: first, after version 32 (and several years of having used this program successfully) it began to behave very erratically (inexplicably long startup delays, apparently unable to detect multiple instances of itself, very sloppy uninstall). Second, a very intrusive and peculiar upgrade process which never provided a simple update button, but instead required you to go through a long series of promotional screens and click on links that appeared to be download links, but turned out to be more promotional verbiage etc. Whenever I encounter a company that misleads you on it's website, and forces you to visit it's website when there's no reason to, it undermines my trust in the company. If, in addition to those issues, they have somehow blocked the option of reverting back to a previous version of the program (as other people rating the software have said on this website), as far as I'm concerned it's malware, no matter what other good things it offers. That's a subjective view, based on objective realities. If your comfortable with the latest releases, it does provide a very extensive range of conversion options, albeit with a very confusing user interface.

great appliaction, not only it is free, but renders superb quality for iPods I use it mostly to convert my video clip recorded from my VideoCam into iPod mp4 format. I also use it as a player for any kind of multimedia file. The best multimedia freeware. ~jim

I converted a few videos using Super and the results were decent. However, you don't have more control over the encode: no ability to do 2 pass encoding, you can't use CBR vs VBR, and you can't access the advanced settings for the codecs like h.264 and DivX. Basic but good.

|||||||||||||||
One of my favorite converters, but one thing seems to be missing, at least I can't find it. The ability to shut down the computer after a conversion. Am I missing something?

cosmotopper (yes, I'm old enough to know who he is as well as Neil and the Kirbys): So, you "strongly suspect" but "never bothered to check" and you're willing to bad-mouth an excellent, FREE program? I "suspect" it is a very good program, with great functionality. It can convert to more files than I have seen in any other software. No, it does not have a pretty gui and has a bit of a leaning curve, but it is not that difficult learn to do a basic convert. It also has a ton of tweaks if one wants to bother to use it properly, but the defaults will do a good job. All-in-all it's an excellent, Free software. And did I mention it is FREE?

I stopped using Super in November of 2008. I have always been suspicious of this program, even though it does have a broad base of useful features, some of which work quite well. When I installed version 33 (I believe, could have been later), there was so much unexplained activity going on my Vista machine, I uninstalled it and decided to stop using it. The marketers of this program have an 'infomercial mentality', and require you to jump through hoops just to find the download link. I never bothered to check, but I strongly suspect they engage in all sorts of mischief snooping around a system during the inexplicably long startup process. It's too bad, since the core functionality of this program is very good, although the user-interface appears to have been designed by someone with a disordered mind.

Downloaded and ran program. Interface looks nice seems easy to use. It is pretty much click and go. Two problems I had are strictly related to my application usage: 1) There is no CRF (const quality) setting for h264 encodes. 2) Output file destination was the Progam File directory on my C:\ drive which is small and will not tolerate the 20GB files I need to generate when encoding HD-DVD to h.264. There is probably a configuration option somewhere to deal with #2 above, but I couldn't find it in the 15 minutes that I was poking around for it. I cannot comment on encoding speed or compatibility of the encodes with my PS3 since I couldn't let the encoding finish. Add CRF for h.264 encoding and I will defintiely try it again.

One of the best converting programs I have ever used, and I've used about 30 different programs, so I should know. Super vast selection of containers and codecs, and other features. This converter is a god! I love it. It has so many great features and codecs and it even chooses some options for u when u import a video clip and select ur container. I would definitly 100 freakin percent reccomend this converter to anyone looking for a great converter that's free!

Free and very relaible, so easy to use if you only know what the word "codec" means! super gives excellent results when encoding to iPhone or when creating VOB files for DVD burning. i love it

I like the idea of super, but compared to many of the other cheap software packages out there, it isn't as user friendly. Errors and exceptions should be handled by the app and not by the user. This error correcting requires quite a bit of work however. If the designer would release the source code for the app, others wouldn't mistrust it so much, and the app would become something better. For a *complete* uninstall listing (PDF) on a clean winxp sp2 machine of super 2008.33, you can use this http://rapidshare.com/files/158582431/Super_2008.33_Installation_Log.zip It was created with AShampoo Uninstaller 3, so the uninstall scripts will work with that application. Just remember, that the files/reg entries installed by super may be used by other applications that you want to keep after super is uninstalled.

Thanks again and again for this wonderful freeware. I had a query about xbox 360 so went to the forum board of erighsoft they gave me great hints and promised to add a special profile for m2ts on xbox. super works great on my vistan, it plays and encode every single file to tons of formats with no hassle. i recommend it to every beginner seeking a fast straight forward encoding solution. if i may suggest a hint to "gonwk" who posted on February 11, 2008 and October 27, 2008 and using vista 64. super does not support 64 bits, it is outlined on their FAQ and on their main webpage, you need to check out the minimum requirements: "At least 1800 MHz Intel® Pentium4 processor or equivalent. (64-bit CPU or OS support is NOT guaranteed)" besides, you seem always repeating "if they are listening.." this is not their website, if you want them to listen to you you need first to address them on their forum board...

I know this isn't a forum, but I've had no problem uninstalling Super and installing earlier versions. Maybe try running CCleaner (both the file cleaner and the registry cleaner parts) between uninstalling and re-installing?

I was all excited about this New Version ... may be eRight has fixed the Vista Crashing problem!!! Well, I ran one Test Clip conversion from .mpg clip to AVI with XviD codec and A-OK. But any other tries after that continually gave me CRASHES. Also, the darn program INCORRECTLY reports my Laptop's Specs ... says that I have an only a 1.0GHz CPU ... when an Intel T5750 is clearly a 2.0GHZ CPU and reports my 4GB RAM as only 1.9GB ... and flags my laptop as not set up to run SUPER. The only version of SUPER ever ran A-OK for me on my desktop with XP PRO was Version 19. But as the other Reviewer indicated eRight has put in some "DEEP" program that no matter how many times you uninstall the 200833 or any other version past Version 19 it remembers it and WON'T ALLOW a clean NEW install. Now I am not a Software Guru ... but to me that sounds like eRight is not playing FAIR or SAFE! If they are able to BLOCK us from rolling back to Older Version then is it Safe to say that their prgram might even have SPYWARE in it. I doubt eRight even gives a hoot about our comments ... as it is evident from their Progress in Newer Versions! But if they are listening ... PLEASE, PLEASE have a CLEAN UNINSTALL program. This progrsam should get a 0 or 1 or MAX a 2 ... basically STINKS to high heaven even though is FREE! G1:)

This used to be the best program that I had for converting but now with the new version it is the worst. I can't even get it to run and have read many others having the same problem! I wish that I would have never upgraded it and unfortunately now that I did I can't seem to get any old versions to work :( Thanks a lot Erightsoft for taking a fine program and f@#$ing it up!

Sadly the last few versions of Super (31 to 33) have, as far as I'm concerned, gone downhill again (see two earlier comments below). None of the above versions can convert my .ts radio recordings from my Humax 9200T DVB-T PVR to mp3, and this latest version once again takes quite a long time to appear on the screen. Back to using 2008.30 for me. I can put up with the freaky gui - you've just got to remember to right-click to bring up the menu - but the hoops the author makes you go through on the website just to download the latest version is really starting to get on my bits! Don't get me wrong, it's a good program and really fantastic value :), and it will certainly remain in my video toolbox for odd little jobs, but I wouldn't use it everyday.

I have been using this and AutoGK almost exclusively for 1 year now. I find the GUI intuitive and the existing functionality works quite well. I have three problems though 1. What other have said about the uninstall leaving many files. 2. It is hard to control the output on the aspects quality/filesize. There is no way to see source framerate and what impacts a choosen framrate till have on quality and filesize. 3. My biggest issue though and the reason I'm trying every other software out there right now is that they don't support DVD subtitles. You can choose VOB as source but not whole DVD (with several VOB and subtitles) as source like with for instance AutoGK where you choose the IFO file as source.
