FAQ On Media Encoder Converter

Q.001 I would like to convert my favorite video clips so I can watch them on my mobile phone. Can you help me
select the appropriate output format?

A. Playing video on mobile phones requires to convert your audio or video clips into specific format. The
encoded content needs to comply with specific audio/video size, bitrate, and codec characteristics.
The .3gp format 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) seems to be the most widely used on mobile
devices. However the 3gp container could be composed of one of the following video/audio codecs combination:
MPEG-4 / AAC
H.263 / AAC
H.263 / amr_nb
H.263 / amr_wb

* The AAC (Advanced_Audio_Codec) provides superior audio quality, in stereo, compared to
AMR-NarrowBand and AMR-WideBand. However, some mobile phone models MAY NOT play the AAC
sound within the 3gp video clip. In case NO sound is playing on your phone, then try using
the AMR-NarrowBand codec.

* The Adaptive Multi-Rate Wideband (AMR-WB) speech codec is NOT supported by QuickTime. AMR-WideBand
provides better audio quality than the AMR-NarrowBand, but it is still a monophonic speech codec not
designed for music. Some mobile phone models MAY NOT play the AMR-WideBand inside the 3gp video clip.
In case NO sound is playing on your phone, then try using the AMR-NarrowBand codec.

In general, the MPEG-4 video codec is associated with the AAC audio codec, so if your mobile phone plays
MPEG-4 videos, chances are that it accepts the AAC codec.
From the other hand, mobile phones that only play the H.263 video codec are usually compatible with
the AMR-NarrowBand but some H.263 compatible mobile phones may also play AMR-WideBand or even AAC.

Many echos about some new generation mobile phones supporting H.264/AVC video codec. SUPER © is
ready to provide H.264/AVC encoded clips whenever these mobile phones are released.
Q.002 I am using the 3gp Nokia/NEC/Siemens format with the AMR-NarrowBand. Can you force the
AMR-NarrowBand to play in stereo?

A. Adaptive Multi-Rate NarrowBand (AMR-NB) and Adaptive Multi-Rate Wideband (AMR-WB) are by design
monophonic speech codecs. They are designed for speech not for music, same like the GSM used for
speech process. They are not and will not play in stereo!
Q.003 I am using the 3gp Nokia/NEC/Siemens format with the H.263 video codec, I found that the highest
video scale is 176x144. Is it possible to raise the video scale of the H.263 video codec to 352x288 with SUPER ©

A. H.263 is a video codec designed by the ITU-T as a low-bitrate encoding solution for videoconferencing.
The available Video Scale Size allowed by this codec are:
CIF: Common Intermediate Format with 352 x 288 pixels, Not allowed in 3G2 or 3GP formats
QCIF: Quarter CIF source Format with 176 x 144 pixels,
Sub-QCIF: Picture source Format with 128 x 96 pixels,
The available encoders (FFmpeg, Mencoder..) DO NOT support H263 format with a higher size
However, the H.263+ can support higher Video Scale Size.

Q.004 I do not find the appropriate FPS setting with the 3gp Nokia/NEC/Siemens format using the H.263 video
codec. Most of the clips I need to encode are either 25fps or 29.97fps. I am selecting a random fps value
but the output video/audio is a bit out of synch, what do I need to do?

A. For H.263 video codec in a 3gp format, you may select the FPS that is exactly the half of your source
file's FPS. The following table shows the available H.263 codec FPS value in 3gp mode, versus the
input file's FPS:

Select this FPS	for the following Input file's FPS
(24000/2002) 11.988	23.976 fps NTSC-film
12.5	25 fps PAL
(30000/2002) 14.985	29.97 fps NTSC
15	30 fps

Select the appropriate fps and you will get a perfectly synchronized rendered files.

Q.005 When I encode my clips into 3gp format for my mobile phone, I notice a de-synchronisation
between the video and the audio. How can I rectify it?

A. Whether you encode into 3gp format or into any other video format, make sure to select the correct Video
Frame/Sec that correspond exactly to your input source file. For instance, encoding an NTSC source
clip (29.97fps) using the PAL 25fps setting will lead to a de-synchronized rendered file.
Q.006 I am encoding an input source AVI file sized 420x236 into MP4[H264/AVC]. An error is occurring. How can I
fixe it knowing that I want to keep the same VideoScaleSize for my MP4 output file but I don't want any WaterMark?

A. Your clip size is 420x236. Neither 420 nor 236 are divisible by 16 (420/16 = 26.25 and 236/16 = 14.75).
As you know, both width & height must be divisible by 16. You can encode it with no errors by selecting
any pre-defined VideoScaleSize other than 'NoChange'.
But, you are asking to keep the same size. In this case, use the "Customized Video Scale ReSize" in the
DirectShow Options, enter the same values 420 and 236. SUPER © will auto-adjust the size to the nearest
width divisible by 16 and the nearest height divisible by 16.
As for the watermark, simply choose 1 of the 3 available options: disable, use the PC_UserName or customize it.
Q.007 When I try to encode my MP4[DivX, AAC] clip into 3GP format to play it on my cell phone I got an error
if "Use Directshow" is selected. I need to use "Directshow" to apply some FadeIn & FadeOut to my
original clip. But When "Use Directshow" is not checked, the encoding is successful.
Why I Can't use Directshow"? What's the difference between "Use DirectShow" checked and unchecked?

A. Once you select "Use DirectShow" it is the DirectShow ActiveX filters available and registered on your PC
that are in charge of the conversion. If your source file is for example an MP4[DivX, AAC], you MUST have
an installed MP4 splitter with the necessary DirectShow filters to read the DivX and the AAC codecs contained
in your file.
In general, whatever is the type of your input source file: MP4, MOV, 3GP, VOB, WMV.. you'll ALWAYS need the
necessary DirectShow filters to decompress the codecs contained in the specific format file.
This is why, in DirectShow mode, encoding success differs from one PC to another.

When "Use DirectShow" is NOT checked, you only rely on SUPER © to carry on the decompression of your
MP4[DivX, AAC] file before encoding it to the format of your choice. This is why the encoding is successful.
SUPER © supports input formats: ASF, MKV, MP4, MOV, 3GP, VIV, RAM, RM(VB), VOB, WMV etc.. WITHOUT
depending on DirectShow.

Note that encoding with "Use DirectShow" checked, leads to a faster and better quality rendered files,
therefore the first choice would be to try encoding using DirectShow whenever you can, but unfortunately,
the success of the encoding differs from one PC to another based on the actual DirectShow filters installed
and registered on your PC. If encoding fails, then try the last choice and uncheck "Use DirectShow".
Q.008 When I try to encode an .AVS Script I always get an error. I know my script code is correct, so Why
the error is occurring either ways, with or without "Use Directshow" checked?

A. When you encode an .AVS script, "Use DirectShow" has NO effect. So with or without it, does the same.
If you are sure of your script code, the error may then be due to missing DirectShow filters needed to play
the codecs contained in the file addressed by your script.

A very simple way to verify it, is to try playing the .AVS script with WindowsMediaPlayer.
If WMP cannot play your script, or can simply play the video without audio or vice versa, then your PC
lacks the necessary DirectShow filters needed to decompress these particular codecs.

If for example your script points to a VOB file Clip=DirectShowSource("Vts_01_1.vob", fps=29 .97) then
you need to have an MPEG-II splitter, and MPEG-II decompressor and an AC3 decoder, any missing part
of those 3 DirectShow filters will cause error.
AVS scripts that CANNOT be played with WMP, will NOT be accepted by SUPER ©
Q.009 I need to crop a clip while encoding it into iPod/iPhone profile, why the "Crop" button is grayed?

A. Crop is grayed whenever it is illegal to use it. Illegal means NOT COMPATIBLE. An error will occur if the
option is used with the currently selected mode.
This button is disabled/grayed in the following cases:
1. Whenever MEncoder is selected
2. When the "Disable Video" box is checked
3. When the "Video Stream Copy" box is checked
4. With files having NO Video Stream
5. With Audio Only files: aac, ac3, mp3, mp2 etc..
6. With any DV or H.263 Video codec selection
7. With any portable hardware formats: Phone, iPod, PSP, Zune..
In general, when any option is grayed, it means it is NOT COMPATIBLE if used with the current selected
mode, or else, either an error will occur, or the rendered file won't be playable on its specific hardware
target (PSP, iPod, CellPhone).
When the RightClick Menu "Show Useful Hints" option is checked, hover the mouse over the 'enabled'
Crop/Pad switch to read more details.
Q.010 I encode an AVI file of 19MB into MP4, I get an MP4 file with double the size of the original (40MB), this
is Not normal, what can I do?

A. You get an output file of 40MB because your settings specified this file size!
Several factors leads to large output file size.
1. Try to double click your input AVI file in the job list to open the Media Analysis Box. Look at the Bitrate(S)
displayed in the file's internal structure. If you try to encode into MP4, or into any other container,
with a Video Bitrate/Audio Bitrate higher than those used in your source file, then your output rendered file size
will be larger than your input file.
Besides, do not think mistakenly that using a much higher Bitrate than the original file's value will improve the
output quality. The opposite is however TRUE, a lower Bitrate than the original file's value will weaken
the output quality. The ideal would be a slightly higher bitrate just to insure the maintain of same quality.

2. The Video Scale Size of your ouput settings has a very high impact on the output file size.
An output setting with a Video Scale Size of 640:480 would create a file four times larger in size
compared to a Video Scale Size of 320:240 with exactly the same Video Bitrate and Audio Bitrate.
3. Choosing a Lossless Video Codec for the output, leads to a large file size.
4. The settings for FPS, BFrames and GOP size have an impact on the output file size as well.
Q.011 I am getting an error everytime I try to encode my Flash SWF file into other format. Why is that?

A. It is mainly because your SWF file does not contain the FLV video codec, but another compressed video codec instead.
Q.012 Why this progress bar is ending then looping again to the beginning, what does it mean?

A. It does not mean anything! It only displays, in an animated way, an indication that the progress job is still ongoing.
It has no relation whatsoever with any percentage, ppm, estimated time left or time passed, or anything alike.
When encoding is over, the rendered file size will be displayed.
Q.013 SUPER © is staying above all my other applications on my PC. This is very useful when I need to drop a file
in the job list, but in some other cases I do not need it. How can I get rid of this bug?

A. This is not a bug. SUPER © will stay on top of all other applications as long as you ask for it!
Whenever you do not want it anymore, uncheck the right click option for "Stay On Top Of All".
Q.014 Why SUPER © is playing all movies in full screen mode?

A. Because you didn't open the Player Options and select the playing mode the way you like.
If the "Full Screen" is checked then the player will obviously play in full screen.
Q.015 Can you display the command line used by SUPER © when calling FFmpeg or x264? or can you allow
adding additional command line arguments for FFmpeg, mencoder, x264 etc..

A. Of course we can. But we have absolutely no intention to do it. It will be more a source of trouble compared
to the insignificant added benefit. Does it really make sense to add command lines to a GUI for command lines!?

SUPER © does not rely on FFmpeg, MEncoder or x264 alone. It also uses several eRightSoft's dynamic libraries
stored under the \spk folder.
SUPER © combines several encoding engines within the same process. Whether you are encoding into 3gp, MPEG-4,
MOV, H.264/AVC or avi, SUPER © will process your source file by using the most adequate encoder that fits to the job
and may even use more than one encoding library at one time, in a piped/chained process, to optimize the results.

The strength and difference of SUPER © is to smartly select for you the appropriate combination of encoding libraries
and use them to optimize your file encoding everytime you drop an input file in the job list or you select a different
target output container.
SUPER © optimizes the output files by using its own SPK library files.
For example, H.264/AVC files encoded with SUPER © are directly playable on your PSP, your iPod|iPhone|iPad or on QuickTime7
without the hassle of writing any additional scripts when creating them or using other tools for muxing or dubbing.

As for the command line encoders, we downloaded all the executable files that we use with SUPER © such as:
(FFmpeg, MEncoder/MPlayer, FFmpeg2theora, x264) from the internet "as is" without modifying their GPL sources.
They are all licensed and distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the
Free Software Foundation.

If you get any eventual error when using a DOS command line, we suggest that you address your query related to
FFmpeg, MEncoder, FFmpeg2theora, x264 etc.. directly to the respective author group.
None of these executables was written by eRightSoft.
Thank you for your understanding.
Q.016 How would I use SUPER © if I need to convert 10 .AVI files to MP4 and 15 .RM to iPod in a batch mode?

A. First you add to the job list the 10 .AVI files, you select MP4 as ouput container and you specify your
selection of Video and Audio codecs. When everything is over, you add the remaining 15 .RM files and
you select the iPod profile.
Q.017 I created a VCD compliant file using SUPER © I need to burn it with SUPER © is it possible?

A. NO, SUPER © is not a CD/DVD burning program. When you create VCD, SVCD or DVD compliant files using
SUPER ©, you still need a third party burning program to put your file on a CD or a DVD.
Q.018 Can I convert with SUPER © my VOB file (MPEG-II and AC3 5.1) into avi and keep all subtitles?

A. SUPER © cannot directly deal with subtitles.
Check this link to find a suitable AviSynth plugin supporting subtitles. Write a script to handle subtitles.
However, SUPER © perfectly support AC3 5.1 channels to play them, read them or encode them, you may
also select the Audio track and the language of your choice.
Q.019 Can I encode directly a VOB file from my DVD into iPod or any other container using SUPER ©?

A. NO, SUPER © cannot decrypt VOB file on a DVD. You need to use a DVDdecrypt program to copy the
VOB files to your HardDisk, then SUPER © can encode them into any other format of your choice.
Note that SUPER © does not require the .bup or .ifo files to be copied to your HardDisk.
Q.020 I am having problems downloading/installing SUPER © why is that?

A. To smoothly download and install SUPER © may we suggest:
-ReDownload the setup file ONLY from www.eRightSoft.com/SUPER.html or www.eRightSoft.net/SUPER.html
-Use any web browser supporting JavaScript: Chrome, Firefox, MSIE, Opera..
-Do not hide the HTTP_REFERRER of your browser. <-- 95% download issues are caused by FireWalls (ZoneAlarm, OutPost..) hiding HTTP_REFERRER
-Enable Cookies.
-Do not use any download manager.
Q.021 Encoding some files gives errors or bad/wrong results. What to do?

A. When error occurs, or when the results aren't suitable for you, click the RED ERROR button (if error) to
find out which possible suggestion would solve your problem.
After trying all possibilities without success, you may proceed as follows:

Anyways, in case of errors, bad or wrong results, here's what you need to do:

Q.023 I need to find out the used codecs and other details of a Multimedia file, how can I do it ?

A. Drag & Drop any Multimedia file inside SUPER ©
Once loaded in the Job-List, double click on the file..
A Media Analysis Box opens and displays all related details
Q.024 Can I convert some of my VOB files to a BluRay format?

A. SUPER © supports all HD .TS (transport stream) and .M2TS (BluRay) format.
You may encode any input file format to render into TS or M2TS HD format.
or you can encode any TS or M2TS input file into any other format of your choice.
A "Sony - PS3 (BluRay)" profile can be selected to render M2TS files for your PS3.
Q.025 How can I reduce the Process Priority when encoding or playing a file?

A. Right-click to open the menu, or click on the "M" letter on the upper right corner
Select the Priority Process Of Internal Encoders.
Select Idle.
Q.026 Why I can't see all the buttons of the interface, the interface is larger than my screen. what can i do?

A. It is well mentionned on the download web page in the "required minimum configuration" section that
the interface of SUPER © requires 1024 x 768 video resolution or larger.
The install SETUP file was initially set to disable the installtion for smaller resolutions.
We received tons of emails asking to enable the installtion even with low resolutions.
Therefore, we enabled the installtion of SUPER © on low resolutions screens to let the user
decide by himself whether to increase his screen resolution or live with it as it is!
Q.027 I am trying to play then save a Media stream, but it doesn't seem to work at all. How can you help?

A. The Internet Media Streams that are supported by SUPER © are those using one of the following
protocols: mms:// rtsp:// http:// Other protocols are not supported.

Note that streams using the http protocol must point directly to a file name (see example), without
using javascript methods or other ways to hide or encrypt the link.
1. they all start with mms:// (to stream asf, wmv files) or rtsp:// (for realmedia files) or even http:// (used for asf, wmv)
2. they all point to either wmv, asf or rm
The internet file over the internet that you want to stream MUST be a MediaFile not a playlist file or an encapsulated
hidden pointer to another link

Some examples of valid streams are already loaded in the dropdown menu so you may test the functionality
of the streaming option on your PC. Once you check that the links are playing properly, you can check the save
box to try saving them on your Disk. Checking this box will immediately change the labelling of the encode button.

Saved streams are named after the hosting server. A stream called "mms://server1.topdownload.com/video/top10.wmv"
will be saved as "server1.topdownload.com.wmv" and will be located in the selected saving folder like all other saved files.

One last thing, streaming protocols like mms:// rtsp:// http:// requires internet access on some specific ports.
Q.028 Does SUPER © require an internet access to work normally?

A. SUPER © requires an internet access to continuously check for auto-update.
Also, it performs a periodic check to verify that some ports are correctly open to play and save
mms:// rtsp:// http:// internet media streams.

For the above tasks, SUPER © would connect to either
DomainName: www.erightsoft.com resolved as 64.150.164.176 or to
DomainName: www.erightsoft.net resolved as 64.150.164.176

At any time, you may deny total internet access to SUPER © through your firewall.
SUPER © will then continue to be FULLY OPERATIONAL to play and encode/render in all formats but
without having the periodic auto-update and without being able to play or save internet media streams.
Q.029 Are you working on a Linux version of SUPER © ?

A. SUPER © is a GUI for major Command line encoders that are initially written for Linux.
SUPER © was released because there was no reliable GUI running on Windows® for those encoders.
We do not intend to write a version of SUPER © for Linux as there are already many powerful Linux GUI for those encoders.

Therefore, we are currently focusing our work only on Windows® versions of SUPER ©
Q.030 How can I un-install SUPER © ?

A. SUPER © comes with an un-installer that will add an un-install link to your "Programs Menu"
Simply click this un-install link.
Note that the SETUP file un-installs automatically any previously installed version of SUPER ©
found on your PC before proceeding with the installation of the new files.
Q.031 Why do I always get this failed to set data for "" error every time I start SUPER © ?

A. SUPER © has to be installed ONLY under a full admin credentials session. Please read the minimum requirements (Q.022)
This error means that you are running SUPER © under a normal user account. Re-install it (and use it) under an Admin account to fix this issue.
Q.032 How can I use SUPER © to create a VOB file that I can burn on a DVD (playable on my standalone player) ?

A. a DVD contains the following type of files:
IFO files: these are the InFOrmation DVD files for subtitles, menu and chapters.
BUP files: they provide BackUP for the above IFO files.
VOB files: these are the multimedia video/audio files and they are created by SUPER ©

After selecting the DVD Std. Compliant (vob) output container, setting the parameters, adding the input file to encode and clicking on the
Encode (Active files) button, a prompt will propose 2 options for the output VOB file name. Please select the VTS_nn_n.VOB format.
The rendered output file will then have a name that looks like VTS_01_0.VOB.

If you need to add chapters and menus, make sure to use a separate DVD authoring software for this purpose.
If not, you may simply use the created VOB file to directly burn your DVD using NERO or any similar software.

There is one constraint however, if your rendered VOB file is larger than 1024Byte * 16^5 which is 1.074GB (1 073 565 000 bytes)
then you have no other choice than splitting the VOB by either using an authoring soft or a simple VOB splitter.

if you use NERO for directly burning the VOB rendered by SUPER © you may simply ignore the warning that says missing BUP & IFO
NERO will continue burning to provide a fully working DVD that can be played on any stand alone DVD home player.
Q.033 After or during the installion of SUPER © my Anti-vir, Anti-adware, Anti-spyware, Anti-malware warned me of a
serious security threat. Why is that?

A. SUPER © is 100% clean of any malicious code. Check the NORTON Safeweb report.
We have counted 23 specialized download sites proposing SUPER © for download as a safe 100% clean package.

When you encounter a false detection, it is mostly heuristic, meaning that the anti-vir wasn't able to
parse and recognize the written code, so the file was flaged "suspicious, heuristic or gen (generic)" by default.

Due to the .exe files packer (tELock) used for almost all the files in the package in order to compress, protect and preserve
the integrity of our code, some anti-malware/vir may trigger a false detection as the tElock (Encryptor/Compressor) crypts the
files before packing them. A great deal of security is therefore achieved, preventing against the reverse engineering of our codes,
but the drawback of this protection is that some Anti-vir cannot even parse correctly the file to scan it, so they flag it "suspicious".
Any (with no exception) .exe or .dll file packed/crypted/protected with tElock may trigger a false detection with those
"heuristic based" Anti-vir programs. You may try tElock to pack any executable file of your choice to test it on your
favorite Anti-vir.

Advanced Anti-malware/vir like McAfee, Norton, Sophos.. are already aware of the tElock usage in our package and
do not trigger anymore those false detections.

If your Anti-vir database is updated online by your anti-vir application, we suggest you send a copy of the
flaged file to your anti-vir author to update and correct its database.

If any file of the package has been deleted or blocked by your Anti-malware/vir, SUPER © will become totally
inactive, and won't start anymore!
Q.034 What are these files cygwin1.dll, cygz.dll, smab.dll and smab0.dll saved in the system32 dir?

A. Since the v2007.build.21 (Jan 4, 2007) of SUPER © we have moved the cygwin1.dll and cygz.dll files to the installation folder.
SUPER © will not install anymore these 2 files in the system32 folder, they are only installed in the user specified installation folder.
These two dynamic link libraries (DLL) are needed to run FFmpeg which has been ported from Linux to Windows®, FFmpeg won't start
without these 2 files.
Q.035 How can I select the destination to save my output renderd files?

A. Hover the mouse over the center "Output" rectangle to display the following message:
Right click and check the "Output File Saving Management" in order
to find or to change the location of your rendered output file.

Right-Click inside the GUI to access and open the general Menu

Click on the selection "Output File Saving Management", browse folders for changing the destination, then press "SAVE Changes"
You may also select other output saving related options..

ATTENTION:
PSP rendered files are ALWAYS saved in the folder \Mp_root located inside the SUPER installation folder.
In fact, once the PSP files are rendered, the explorer prompt page opens directly the \Mp_root folder to list your encoded files.
Q.036 Why am I getting a prompt the first time I click on Encode or Play ?

A. Since v2010.build.41 (Oct 31, 2010), SUPER © prompts with the following message
only once when you click or Encode or Play.

The purpose is to inform you to "Use The Old Validation Procedure" if you have encountered
a problem causings SUPER © to shut down when you click on Encode or Play.

The "Use The Old Validation Procedure" key can be found on the MENU
The Old Validation Procedure would avoid SUPER © from shutting down on very few PCs
while if you uncheck it, the newly introduced procedure will be used instead, it is much faster.
Q.037 Some encoded files are only playable on SUPER © I cannot play them on my favorite player!
is it normal ?

A. Any file successfully encoded with SUPER © is a 100% valid Multimedia file.
The fact that you are able to play it with SUPER © means that the file is free
from any damage.

Some players, (most players in fact, including WMP) depend on DirectShow to play Multimedia files
therefore, they require special codecs to be installed and registered on your PC.
SUPER © is an exception, MPlayer is strictly monolithic, which means that this 1 single
unique file contains absolutely all necessary codecs to play any file.
For instance, VLC 0.9.9 would install 523 files on your PC to be able to play most files.

Anyways, SUPER © would encode your file, if you can't play it elsewhere, it is too bad!
Q.038 How can I use SUPER © to record Sound from my Microphone or from my Speakers ?

A. After selecting the RECORDER <Video+Audio> mode, make sure to select the adequate
Audio Device detected on your PC.

Click on the Audio Module Config button to open this specific Audio Device Property Window

The Opened Audio Device Property Window let you choose between CD Player, Line In, Microphone or Speakers...

To record what you hear from your speakers, select the Wave Out Mix or whatever Wave Output name
is given by your specific Audio Device. Make sure to check the Enable box.

Now you may click on the Start Recording Now ! button..
Q.039 How can I create with SUPER © a video content to be streamed on HTML5 supported browsers?

A. The following HTML script works with WebM files created with SUPER ©
Simply replace the "your title" and the "video.webm" with your own figures and adjust width...
Place the WebM video file together with this HTML script under the same folder.

<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> <title> your title </title> </head> <body> <video controls="controls" width="500"> <source src="video.webm"> </video> </body> </html>

You may also use SUPER © to encode into OGG[theora, vorbis] which is another HTML5 supported format.
Simply replace the "your title" and the "video.webm" with your own figures and adjust width...
Place the OGG video file together with this HTML script under the same folder.

<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> <title> your title </title> </head> <body> <video controls="controls" width="500"> <source src="video.ogg"> </video> </body> </html>

Note that supported browsers to read the above HTML script are:
Firefox 4
Google Chrome
Opera 11
MSIE ONLY with the Google Chrome Frame installed (http://code.google.com/chrome/chromeframe/)

Here's a simple script when SUPER © is used to encode into SWF format.
-Replace the "your title" with your own values
-Replace the shown source src="http://www.YourSite.com/YourVideoClip.swf" by your source site/file
-Adjust width and height accordingly
-and finally replace by "true" or "false" where values are needed
Place the SWF video file together with this HTML script under the same folder.

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title> your title </title> </head> <center> <embed src="http://www.YourSite.com/YourVideoClip.swf" width="640" height="480" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" swliveconnect="false" menu="false" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" loop="false" align="middle" autostart="true"> </center> </body> </html>
Q.040 Why SUPER © is not using during encoding all the cores and threads of my CPU ?

A. When encoding into a specific Output Container, Video and Audio Codecs have to be obviously selected.
These codecs support differently the number of selected threads. Some codecs support only 1 thread otherwise they throw an error,
other codecs support 4 or 6 threads and so on. Not all codecs will support 8 cores or 8 threads.
SUPER © multi core support is therefore variable based on the selected codecs.
