How to Use Super Video Converter
Super Video Converter is one of the best free converters available today. It supports multiple video formats (even unpopular ones) and is very flexible.
We’ve been using Super Video Converter for quite some time now as it supports multiple video formats and its conversion options are very flexible. You can convert from almost any kind video format, and then convert it to another format with a different aspect ratio, video bitrate, aspect size, etc.
We now have quite a few tutorials on how to convert videos on various gadgets (i.e. mobile phones) in TechieChips. As we use Super Video Converter in almost all of them, I decided that it’s time to make a general tutorial on how to use Super Video Converter so that I don’t repeat them on every video conversion article I make.
In the middle of this article you’ll also see a list of all the video conversion guides I’ve made. You can always check this page if I’ve made one for your gadget (I’d be happier if you subscribe to the feed or email updates!). If not, you can always use the contact form (not the comments area please!) and ask me to make one for you!
Download and Install Super Video Converter
You could download the latest Super Video Converter in their official website eRightSoft. However it’s very hard to find the download link at their official website as it’s buried several pages deep. I’ve provided the download link for the latest Super Video Converter below. I’ve also included previous versions of the converter as some people are having a hard time converting with the new one.
Latest Version:
Super Video Converter (build 36 – June 10, 2009)
Previous Versions:
Super Video Converter (build 35 – Jan 5, 2009)
Super Video Converter (build 33 – Sep 2, 2008)
Super Video Converter comes with an automatic upgrade. I however suggest that you fully uninstall any previous versions of Super first and then install the latest version.
Using Super Video Converter
The guide below is for the latest Super Video Converter. Previous versions may be a little different but the basics remain the same.
1. Launch Super Video Converter
Once it’s successfully installed, just double-click the shortcut icon at your desktop and then this is what you should see.
If you don’t see a similar screen when you launch Super, make sure the first option at the upper-left corner of the screen is selected – as seen in the screenshot below.
2. Select the Video You Want to Convert
Drag the video file you would want to convert, on the area where it says “DROP A VALID MULTIMEDIA FILE HERE”.
Once you’ve successfully dragged the file you want to convert to Super, it should be listed and have a checkmark beside it like the one below:
3. Indicate the Conversion Settings
This is where you enter the conversion settings for your gadget (mobile phone, video player, etc.). Below is a list of all the video conversion guides I’ve made which uses Super Video Converter.
Convert Movies and Videos for the Nokia 5530 XpressMusic
Convert Movies and Videos for your Samsung Omnia
Convert Movies and Videos for your Nokia E75
Convert Videos and Movies for your Sony Ericsson G705
Convert Any Video or Movie file for DVD Players
Convert Videos and Movies for your Nokia E90
Convert Movies and Videos for your Nokia E66
Convert Movies and Videos for your Nokia E63
Convert Movies and Videos for your Nokia 5800
Convert Movies / Videos for your Sony Ericsson P1i
Convert Movies and Video Files for your Nokia E71 / E61 / E61i
5. Encode /Convert your Video or Movie
Click Encode (Active Files) which is located at the bottom, and just wait for your file to be encoded. The longer the video or the movie is, the longer the encoding process.
Note: If you have the latest Super Video Converter, it would save the converted video in the same folder where the source video is. However, if you’re using Super Video Converter build 35 and lower, you need to set the folder where the converted videos are. You can do this by pressing Ctrl+T or by right-clicking any part of Super and choosing Output File Management. The default location where it saves converted videos is “C:\Program Files\eRightSoft\Super\OutPut”
Also while converting, Super displays a green bar to show the progress of conversion.
Sometimes it goes full and then resets back to empty (especially on large files). You might think that there’s something wrong with the conversion but there really isn’t. Just let it convert until it’s finished.
Easy isn’t it? If you have any questions on how to use Super Video Converter don’t hesitate to ask – you can do so in the comments section below.

Hi.How do you add subtitles?
Why does it has always an error? the first try is successful.. but then it cannot be converted anymore?
my super doesnt show the buttons at the bottom..
please help
If you’re using a netbook like an Asus EeePC or Acer Aspire One, try increasing the resolution of your screen. It gets cut of when you dont meet the minimum screen resolution.
The eee PC does not change resolution (max 1024X600) which is not enough. Moreover it proved impossible to move the window with programs like Taekwindow. I believe, for the moment, is not possible to use Super in small sized PCs.
There’s a small icon in the taskbar which you can use to adjust the screen size. When you do increase it, your screen would scroll like an internet browser. Icons would stay the same but you can scroll up and down to view the bottom of the screen.
Hi, there is no encode button to be found at the bottom?
Hi David,
If you’re using a netbook (like Asus EeePC or Aspire One) make sure you increase the screen resolution because Super has a minimum requirement for the screen size.
it does not work, i tried changing the screnn resolution, dam it
The screen must be set to a higher resolution before launching Super. Don’t launch Super then adjust the screen resolution.
is there a keyboard shortcut for the
encode process? thanks.
i have installed super video converter on my pc but it can not show full screen thats why i can not encode so plz tell me how can its show me encode option
Try increasing your video resolution. If you’re using a netbook it may be getting cut off at the bottom.
Hiii…
I downloaded the software in my notebook & then I converted a vedio file. After loading in my mobile it displays ” converted by non-activated versions”… Pl. help.
I haven’t encountered that problem before. Could you try by re-installing Super?
Hi,
Can we convert .vob files using SUPER??
Yes you can.
I have often seen that many MP4 converters does not provide 640*360 resolution exactly; and the screen is displayed as a strip confined between black borders. Can’t we get full screen view without affecting Quality….I have come across one software that gives full screen display but quality detroits.
Does this software solves all that problem???
If the source file is of good quality, it will convert the video without affecting the quality. Remember also that if the source video is not naturally in 640×360 and black borders are naturally embedded in the video, it would not be removed in the conversion.
I cant find encode button at the bottom of my screen.Is there any other way i can encode it
You might not have the minimum required screen resolution. Try increasing the resolution of your monitor. Restart Super after that.
Hi ,
I hope you can help .
How to uninstall any previous versions of Super ?
I can’t find it in control panel. Now I have deleted teh whole folder but do not workable.
Thanks…
TERRY
You shouldn’t just delete Super from the Program Files. A proper uninstallation should be done from Add/Remove Programs (in Windows XP or below) or Programs and Features (in Windows Vista and 7)

I entered an HD MOV video to be converted to a WMV. The result is a very long skinny image (horizontal).
I have checked and double checked the dimensions and aspect ratio, bit rate, etc. And it keeps coming out the same way. Any ideas on how to correct. THANKS, Jeff
the converted video didn’t play at my mobile phone
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Could you be more specific? Could you comment on the specific mobile video conversion guide I made?
hey
i converted a .mkv movie for my nokia 5800 but it runs only for half an hour i tried running in vlc bt vlc laso doesnt reads it after half an hour any idea??
plz helpp..
How can I use SUPER(C) to convert .avi files into smaller, compressed .mp4 files? It seems that when I change the BitRate the file size remains same…However I could be doing something wrong. Please helpl…
You can lower the Video Bitrate as it could lower the file size. Maybe your files are really large (or the videos are long) that’s why the converted file is still large. You could also try to lower the video scale size but I think that should be a last resort.
i tried to convert flv as well as mp4 to asf.
for both i got the remark “ERROR” with no further explanation of what is wrong.
how do i correctly change the format?
thanks
Have you tried other files? Maybe its a file problem.
How can I add subtitles on my Nokia E90 on the converted file
Sorry but Super doesn’t currently support subtitles.
hi i tried to convert avi files into VOB format so i can burn into dvds. However, i encountered errors each time i tried to convert them. I have changed the aspect ratios and tried also using different encoders. What could be the problem? Please Advise!
have you check out FORMAT FACTORY ?, also a freeware and I think the rendering is better than SUPER, also support subtitles.
Just my two cents
