SUPER © [sic] (Simplified Universal Player Encoder & Recorder) with first release on 2005 is a closed-source adware 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. SUPER © provides a graphical user interface to these back-end programs, which are command-line based.
eRightSoft official website states that SUPER © is available in two versions:

Features
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.
v2017.Build.71+3D+Recorder (April 7, 2017) offers the following encoding modes:
- Normal 2D
- 2D >> 3D
- 3D >> 2D
- 3D >> 3D
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. SUPER © is also able to utilize its back-end's built-in media players, allowing playback of supported video and audio formats.
As of version 2020, SUPER started to bundle trojan viruses with its free version installer, namely Win32/Trickedurl.A!svchost. It would allow an attacker to remotely control the computer if it wouldn't be detected by Anti-Virus applications like Windows Defender.[2]
