SUPER © Simplified Universal Player Encoder & Renderer.

[crnl4bn]

As the subject heading says, SUPER is a Simplified Universal Player Encoder & Renderer in one. I've been using it for a few months now and have been utterly amazed with its quick, reliable, efficiancy. I first got it because of its ability to convert from any video format > .3gp, which is the video format my cell phone(LG VX9800) uses to play videos and the such.

It's a very user-friendly piece of software and I never have any stability issues arise when using it.
Apart from that, its freeware, so it costs absolutely nothing!

here is a little breakdown of some of its capabilities:

can play or convert (encode) any multimedia file.
does NOT require any additional external codec to be installed, absolutely nothing. Necessary codecs are built in!
can also play and save Internet Media Streams with different protocols ( mms://  rtsp://  http://)

the only drawback might be its lack of .shn and .flac support, but that is what Trader's Little Helper(http://thor.prohosting.com/roh0205/) is for...

I figured that I'd post here because I never hear anyone mention it...

So if ya don't know, now ya know...
