The best freeware program for encoding and transcoding out there! Really don't need to install any codecs because it has them built in!!! Can be slow, but you can do the most with it, crop and pad, adjust screen size, dimensions, aspect ratio,quality, etc.
You can easily rip audio, like that cool song you ended up having to find on youtube with a stupid video attached....well, now you can rip the audio to mp3 for your player, or any other format.
When my codecs are out of date, or other programs like WinAVI crap out (as it frequently does with mkv's), I can usually get something productive out of Super.
And, unlike some software, not only does Super get fairly regular updates as needed, but being freeware they are all painless and free! Just download and install the latest build!
The ONLY hassle with this program- it's a pain in the arse locating the actual DOWNLOAD LINK!!! :D :D :D
But, once you do, it's about a 25-30MB download, simple install, and as long as you don't have a slow POS system, you should be good to go!
