Super encoder

[battscrew]

Found this on another site http://www.erightsoft.net/ for a free encoder call super? Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with it?

i believe it's a frontend for avisynth and the libavcodec family of codecs.

i never got it working, but that's probably my bad.

[mgh]

It converts almost anything to anything and fast. I have never been able to get good quality out of it at same kbps as i can with normal encoders such as virtualdub (for avis) and TMPGEnc for mpg1 or 2.

Super(c) kicks trash. I love it, its fabulous for converting for iPod or PSP or any odd end format. I love it. Highly recommended.

MediaCoder is an open source universal audio/video batch transcoder (converter), which puts together lots of excellent audio/video codecs and tools from the open source community into an all-in-one solution, capable of transcoding among different audio/video formats. With many extra features and a expandable architecture, MediaCoder is more than a GUI of a bunch of command line tools.

Dear eRightSoft,
It has been a week since I emailed you about your violations of the
terms of the GPL/LGPL license for numerous software packages you are
distributing. I am enclosing the earlier email below.
To summarize:
* you are distributing GPL/LGPL software as binaries only
* you are placing additional conditions on use of the GPL/LGPL software
you are distributing
* you are claiming the GPL/LGPL software is copyrighted and owned by
you when it is not
* you do not have proper copyright/license notices for all the GPL/LGPL
software packages you are distributing

All of these are expressly prohibited by the GPL/LGPL licenses.

So far, I have not received a response. I assure you that I and other
authors of this open-source software that I have been in touch with
consider this a serious problem, and not something that can be brushed
aside. What you need to do to comply with the license is very simple,
and will not inconvenience you; but it is very important to us, and it
_is_ legally required. If you do not follow the terms of the license,
you do not have permission to use or distribute the software.

I will give you one more week to reply, and then will pursue other,
more public ways to obtain a remedy.

Sincerely,
Alex Izvorski

Tried both, super is by far much easier and more flexible. besides it covers a large scope of input files and renders to all targets.

SUPER is fantastic!!!But I have some problems!For example,If I want convert a mp3 in aac(mp4) at 64 kbit/s the final result will be an aac with a bitrate larger than 64(approssimate 112)!!!.Instead If I convert mp3 in mp4 with nero I get a 64 kbit/s output file.Why I can't get the same output file (lower bitrate=lower final size)as nero?

There's a thread about SUPER in the MPEG-4 encoding GUI's subforum. As long as it doesn't do multipass encoding and a couple of other things aren't customizeable I personally won't use it :)

About the GPL violation, well, it's happening far too often imho, and this is just an extra reason not to use this program.

Btw this doesn't have anything to do with DVD authoring ... imho :)

i've tried it, it's really easy to use. i converted flash video (downloaded from youtube) to avi. it worked well on computer, but it was all choppy on my desktop player. another thing i didn't like was that i couldn't get it to pass audio encoding, and simply copy the audio stream directly.

has nothing to do with dvd authoring, that's true
