Learn to convert video files with Super Video Converter

How many times did you need to convert a video file from one type to enother (DivX, Mpeg 4, MP4, flash, DVD, etc)? If it happened to you at least once, then you know how hard it is to find a good and easy software to help you. Not to mention codecs, that are a nightmare if you don’t have them already installed.

But don’t panic, there is a very simple way to convert video files. There is a free software, named Super Video Converter, which includes all necessary codecs and it’s produced by Eright Soft. I won’t get too much into the details, regarding the conversion process of a video file, and I’ll stick to how to use Super Video Converter.

Obviously, the first step is installation. Unfortunately, it’s also the most difficult, the download link being really “hidden” in the download webpage. I won’t let you search too much, so I’ll leave the direct link to the latest Super Video Converter version.

After installation, you’ll have to run the software, and the following screen will appear.

Steps to follow:

1. select file format
2. select video codec
3. select audio codec
4. final video resolution
5. aspect ratio width/height
6. frames per second
7. bitrate (the bitrate multiplied by the number of seconds represents the final file dimension)
8. audio options
9. previous settings brief
10. list of files that will be converted (selection is made by Drag and Drop in the Super window)

Advanced options as the directory for the converted saved files, can be accessed from the contextual menu that you can see while right clicking on any spot on the Super window.

Depending on your CPU and the chosen settings (bitrate, codecs, fps etc) converting a video file can last at least its duration (1 video minute lasts around 1 minute to be converted), but unfortunately Super doesn’t give you an approximate conversion time, so you’ll just have to be patient.

But, at least now you know how to convert video files nice and easy. If you have any comments, don’t be shy and post them below.
