I think the Creators of this tool would have known it`ll be a great one so only they`ve named it as "Super" ! The Only thing that alerts me if i use this tool is " The Interface ". It`s just a little bit greater than commanding even though it has lots of stuffs with it , i dont know how and where to used them efficiently !

Been using this software for a 2 years fine. I have it on one machine as 2009v35. I installed the latest version on another machine. Both machines are XP Pro. On the new machine converting M2TS files to DivX AVI does not work (video fine, sound bad). This conversion works fine on old machine with 2009v35 Uninstalled 2010v37 and installed the older 2009v35 on the the new machine. Now Super is not starting. Uninstalled and reinstalled the latest 2010v37, and it runs fine, but does not do the M2TS conversion properly. 1. SUPER DOES NOT ALLOW YOU TO INSTALL AN OLDER VERSION ON YOUR MACHINE. 2. SUPER BULLETIN BOARD DOES NOT LOAD UP, and other bulletin boards claim the board is a mess (their opinion, not mine). 3. SUPER SUPPORT IS ONLY VIA THE NON LOADING BULLETIN BOARD ..... (ok others were able to load it but complaining of not being able to sign in .... just google for the reference). Super does most conversions fine, but may not do all it advertises.

i am running SOPHOS which is updated every 3 hours on my workstation, and running NOD32 on my laptop. None of them has detected any malware issue with v2010.build.37 SUPER is running marvelous, you guys need to update your AntiVir soft or use a decent one!

I have always trusted VideoHelp.com but Mcafee also tells me this program has a virus as well. Might be a false positive but I was infected by something about the same time I installed this program so I cannot take the chance. If everyone is getting viruse scanner hits you probably need to change your code. It will not work to keep telling us we are stupid. Even the author of VirtualDub (one of the best programs around for .AVI work) has to eventually change code because the virus scanners kept nailing it as a problem. I really like the idea of what this program can do because I have a lot more control over the parameters that some of the other front ends. Until the code changes and the written abuse stops I will continue to use a combination of AutoGK and Handbrake to meet my needs. Good luck.

My daughter received a Philips GoGear Vibe for Christmas and she wanted to put a video file on it. I tried to use the program that came with it (Media Converter for Philips) to convert an avi that I had on computer but when it was finished and I tried to put it on the gogear vibe, it said file not the right format. This program is set to convert to SMV! I kept searching for a program to use and came across Super. I downloaded 201037 and upon installing I was also prompted it had found DR/Delphi virus. I use Avira as well. I ended up installing the last version, 200936, and needless to say, Super errored about 15 minutes into conversion. I re-read specs needed for file and tried to set them again in super, i hit encode and it failed within minutes. I then went to SMV Converter, it converted on problem but while trying to transfer the finished file it said unsupported format. It is really hard for me to give it a rating as this was the first time I have used this program. I wont give up though, I will try again another day.

Jan-02-2010 Disclaimer: This rant is based on my waking up to find I couldn't use Super build 36 anymore for stream-to-disk, because eRightSoft apparently went into my computer and disabled that feature until I update to build 37. Like another user, on trying to update to build 37 I got an Avira warning about DR/Delphi.gen dropper, so I aborted the update. I screen capped the warning and upped it here: http://imageupper.com/i/?S0600010060011I26246184582647 Maybe we need a new acronym for Super: PITAware. What makes Super a pain is that it's occasionally useful, but the person(s) behind it often finds a way to irritate users or make them afraid to have Super on their computer, not knowing what the author might do on a whim with all those wacky dll's, packed files, and phone calls to home. The latest "outrage" is that as of Jan-2-2010, the author has apparently disabled some features of existing installations of build 36 in order to "force" end users to update to build 37. On startup, Super checks with eRightSoft for its latest marching orders. Now that build 37 just came out, the way of irritating users of build 36 is to disable the stream functionality until you update. The update is free (as is the software), but this is still unacceptable behavior, for reasons similar to the Amazon/Kindle fiasco where Amazon went into people's Kindles and removed content it decided they shouldn't have. This makes end users feel violated. Users (even of free programs) expect software creators to act decently and not callously cripple existing apps. The ethics of going into someone's computer and intentionally crippling the functionality is very shady. If you want people to use Super, they need to trust you. Going in without permission and crippling features is a "scumware" tactic. Nothing in the license agreement appears to give eRightSoft permission to tamper with software on the end user's computer once it's been installed. The way the relationship between programmers and end users is supposed to work, users update because they have positive feelings toward the product and hope to get improved features. They don't update to get back features the programmer took away when they weren't looking! The combo of the "forced" update plus the Avira warning gives this user a bad feeling. My impulse is to remove Super and use a different app to save Real Audio rtsp streams to disk. One way of doing this is using SMPlayer Portable, which is a good GUI for MPlayer and comes with all the codecs you need (including Real Audio): http://smplayer.sourceforge.net/downloads.php With the portable version, everything unzips to a single folder. No codecs are installed in your system. I suggest running two copies of SMPlayer Portable from separate folders: one set up to save streams to disk; the other to listen normally. This way, you can create a "poor man's Streamripper" for Real Audio and other exotic streams. You can use the two copies of SMPlayer to create a "relay." The first copy saves the stream to disk, and with the second copy, you navigate to the rip (in progress) and play it. You can label one folder SMPlayerForListening and one folder SMPlayerForRipping. The app comes with different styles and icon sets (i.e. skins), and I suggest changing these so the two versions look different when you run them both at once. To set one copy of SMPlayer to save streams to disk instead of playing them: Go to Options:Preferences:Advanced:OptionsForMPlayer. In the Options box you'll see: -nofontconfig Add -dumpstream to that so the final result looks like: -nofontconfig -dumpstream Now when you "play" a Real Audio stream, you won't hear it but the raw stream will be saved to a file called dump.stream. The default location will be .\screenshots but you can change this in Options:Preferences:General. As for Super, if it's not malware, why the shady actions by the programmer(s)? Why don't they act like good corporate citizens and respond reasonably to user complaints? Why all the sneaky stuff? I would like to be able to use Super and to trust the programmer(s). But they need to improve their attitude, social skills, treatment of end users, and virus-checking before releasing a "forced" update. Yes, Super is free, based mostly on other people's free code. But the author of Super is so paranoid about somebody else stealing his GUI that he apparently uses various shady techniques which trigger anti-virus and anti-malware warnings. This might come as a surprise, but to provide services (even free services) to others is a privilege. People who want to develop their career and skills by providing free software have to earn the right to put it on people's computers. This happens through trust. I'm involved in distributing free food. But if I simply threw the food at people, or made them jump through too many hoops, or gave them the food then took it back again, they wouldn't want it from me. They would choose to trust somebody else. To be more successful, eRightSoft needs to recognize that providing a service is a privilege, and responding well to complaints from end users is necessary - even if the product is free. I apologize if these comments are harsh. My intent is not to disparage the creator(s) of Super, but to encourage a higher standard that would make trust possible. Michael

Checked with NOD32, no viruses. You shouldn't rate something 1 of 10 in all categories because of a false postive. T'ain't right. This is a great, very versatile tool. So far this is the only (free) software that I have tried that successfully was able to make a DVD compliant DVD5 from a BD movie I converted with BDRebuilder. It converted the .mt2 files that I can play on a standalone (upconverting) DVD player and the picture quality is as good as a standard DVD. I tried 4 or 5 different softwares, (pay and freeware) and this was the only one that worked and it's free. Keep up the good work.

Just downloaded the installer this morning, and it is infected by DR/Delphi.Gen!!! Not worth the risk even if it is a false positive!... Also a post from a previous user who had the same issue as been removed from this comment list. This is censorship and is not acceptable! You can find the deleted post in the google cache of this website!

(Disclaimer: The problem described below may apply only if Avisynth is used, or only if a complicated Avisynth script is used with a large source video file.) I had been using Super for about nine months, and it had worked great all that time. But about a month ago, it started failing consistently. After checking the possible reasons mentioned in the error message, I checked potential causes: Avisynth script errors, hard drive problems, too little (or too much!) RAM, WinXP corruption, etc. Nothing cured the problem. Then I remembered that the free space on my C drive had been slowly diminishing, due to my adding new software and files. Until I tried everything else, I didn't give this a thought. After all, my video source files and converted files were on other partitions, not on C:. And in any event, I had 1.8 GB of free space on drive C, and that was much more than the size of any of my converted files (680 MB or less). Plus, FFMPEG, when invoked directly, worked flawlessly with the current free space, and that's the converter that Super was using to convert my files. But since I had tried everything else, I tried reconfiguring the location of my TEMP and TMP folders to another hard drive, one that had a generous 26 GB free space. To my delight, Super once again worked flawlessly. Since Super worked fine until my free space for the TEMP and TMP folders had diminished to about 1.8 GB, I estimate that Super required free TEMP/TMP space of about 2 GB, at least for my large projects (28 GB or larger input files). It's puzzling that FFMPEG--which was the converter that Super was using for my tasks--didn't share that need. The above transfer of folders can be accomplished in this way: 1. Click on-- Start/ Control Panel/ System (in Classic View)/ Advanced/ Environmental Variables. 2. "Edit" the TEMP and TMP variables appropriately, in both the "User variables" section and the "System Variables" section.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.
