SUPER (Simplified Universal Player Encoder & Renderer) (officially titled SUPER ©) is a closed-source freeware front-end for open-source software video players and encoders provided by the FFmpeg, MEncoder, MPlayer, x264, ffmpeg2theora, musepack, Monkey's Audio, True Audio, WavPack, libavcodec, and the Theora/Vorbis RealProducer plugIn projects. SUPER provides a graphical user interface to these back-end programs, which are command-line based.
A March 2009 round-up of free video conversion software in Chip.de ranked it third behind MediaCoder and XMedia Recode, but recommended it to beginners due to its simplified interface.[1]
Features
SUPER can manipulate and produce many multimedia file formats supported by its back-end programs.
Back-end program features supported by SUPER include saving various streaming protocols (mms, rtsp, and http), conversion of Flash Video to other formats, and user-controlled conversion of video between different container formats. Users can chose between various lossless direct audio/video transfers between container formats or lossy video/audio encoding, with encoding possessing the added ability to change video and audio specifications such as bitrate, frame rate, audio channels, resolution, sampling rate, and aspect ratio. SUPER is also able to utilize its back-end's built-in media players, allowing playback of supported video and audio formats.
SUPER requires to be installed and run under full administrative credentials.[2] It also attempts to connect to the Internet every time it is run in order to check for auto-updates or prepare to stream the supported Internet Media Streams protocols (mms://, rtsp://, and http:// ). The author claims that denying internet access to SUPER will not affect its functionality.[3] Every time SUPER is started it displays an information stating that the user should disable heuristic scanning in his/her antivirus program. However doing so could cause malicious code to be executed on the user's machine, especially given the fact that SUPER requires to be run under full administrative credentials.
