Trying To Use Super ... Output is Only Audio - No Video

[heyjjjaded]

I am trying to learn how to use Super to do simple conversions of my AVI files from my camcorder, so I can shrink the file sizes & share them on the internet. I must have some obvious settings wrong, because my output files continue to have audio only - no video. Can somebody help me with the settings, so I can get the video too? Thank you!

What's the input format? I'm assuming DV from a camcorder. Drop it into Gspot to confirm it has audio and video. Did you use Type 1 or Type 2 DV? Type 2 is more compatible most times. I don't know which SUPER prefers. You can change the type with something like the Canopus DV File Converter.

Then drop the SUPER output into Gspot to confirm if you have a output audio and video.

Super is a very basic converting program. DV normally has PCM audio. You shouldn't have any problems converting that to other audio formats.

What video and audio formats do you want to end up with? Net video can be anything. Xvid, WMV, MPEG, and FLV are popular, depending on what you want to do with it.

NO video audio only, are you trying to go straight to FLV ?

try mp4 container/ext . mpeg 4 codec, mp3 audio,

and when the popup window comes up select mp4v

let youtube do the conversion to flash/flv

OH and make sure you have a player and codecs installed on your PC for your chosen, output you have been trying do ..

SUPER is self contained, it entirely possible to encode to something that your PC is NOT setup to play

you video conversions might be good, but your PC may not play them, but them on a thumb drive or cd and check them in a different PC

check them with gspot or media info

unless you disable the video stream, in super, the output file has video, but your PC is NOT playing it

Thanks for the tips. I don't know much else about it, but I'll try these suggestions & see if I can get it to work.
