SUPER (computer program)

Simplified Universal Player Encoder & Recorder (SUPER) is a closed-source 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. It was first released in 2005. SUPER provides a graphical user interface to these back-end programs, which use a command-line interface.

SUPER can manipulate and produce many multimedia file formats supported by its back-end programs.

As of 2016, SUPER has a built-in enhanced 3D Video Converter & Recorder engine.

The proposed 3D variations are 3D Anaglyph, Polarized or Shutter side-by-side.

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 choose 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.
