Up till now it's been outstanding, but yesterday I found a file it's had real trouble to convert. Every time I try to convert the file the converter slows to almost a dead stop. There's nothing I can see wrong with the RM file. It plays back perfectly. I've also tried to use exactly the same clip but from a different source, but nope, still the same converting trouble. Anyone got any idea what's up?  [Link] |

For some reason unknown to me, some computers won't allow it to install. A Microsoft update could possibly be the culprit, or it could be some hidden gremlin in their systems.  [Link] |

You will have to click on 3 different links once on the page to eventually get to where you will be able to download it. I'm not sure, but I think it's a way to get the advertising money since it's a free program by users clicking on several pages. That's the only thing that makes sense to me. The first link is near the bottom of the page and looks like this in blue: Start Downloading SUPER © The second liink is near the top of the page and looks like this in light blue: download and use, and is prefaced by letters in red. The third and final link is near the bottom of the page and looks like this in blue: Download SUPER © setup file. 3. SHUT DOWN ALL ANTI-MALWARE PROGRAMS AS IT MOST LIKELY WILL INHIBIT INSTALLATION OR CORRUPT THE INSTALLER. The screen it's on when first opened is for joining files only. I've never used that feature, but I will test it out very soon. This is a fairly new feature that was added recently. 4. Once installed, the very first thing you must do is look all the way to the left at the top and click the radio button to change the screen to where it's supposed to be for converting files. Just click on the file type that you want it converted to. This program is capable of stripping the video and leaving only the audio to just MP3 if you so desire. 5. The next important step is to set where you want the converted file to go. I send mine to the Desktop. To me it's better than hunting down the file, especially if you're testing different formats etc. Click on the M at the top right corner. Click on Output File Saving Management and uncheck the box. If you don't uncheck it, you cannot Browse to change the location. Once you've selected your location, click Save Changes at the bottom left corner. Using the program at first is a little tricky if you're not familiar with it, but once used a few times it is easy unless you start trying to use custom settings. I recommend not tinkering with the default conversion settings unless you're ultra-savvy with trying to tweak picture or sound quality while converting files. I've tried in the past and have found that there is very little difference in picture quality and isn't worth the extra time it takes to do the conversion. The only type of "tinkering" that won't throw you off is messing around with using DirectShow Decode, FFmpeg, MEcoder and the others at the top. The other safe one you can try without issue is when converting something to MP3, you can change the Bitrate kbps to any of the available settings without problems. Be aware that sometimes the highest setting may not sound the best depending on the levels of the original file. It has a built-in interface that will let you know if you're using a configuration that will conflict with the type of conversion you're attempting. Super P.S. I hope this helps. Now you see why my first choice was to test it first myself! [Link] |

| DrP0rn0 Senior Member 1836 Posts 5/04 | Posted - Dec 8 2009 : 3:46PM You *might* even be able to save the first 4 seconds or so separately and glue the two AVIs together when you are done. I'd normally use VirtualDub to join similar AVIs, but there are probably other programs that specialize in that task. Dr. P [Link] |
