I was keeping looking for a free video converter to convert all sorts of video clips I have to avi/mp4/3gp format playable on my 8310 for a while. I’ve found a bunch, but none of them make me satisfied. Some can’t convert rm/rmvb files, which I had a lot. Some are not free. Some doesn’t allow me to configure output video parameters (such as size, fps and video bitrate). As soon as I met SUPER@, I know I can stop searching. Although this software is not dedicated to BlackBerry (instead, it is a general purpose Video/Audio transcoder, without targeting any specific platforms), this software provides me every feature I want for video/audio conversion for my BlackBerry.
- It is totally FREE;
- It has a very fast conversion speed;
- It does NOT require any additional external codec to be installed. All the codecs are built-in;
- It supports two-way conversion between any format lists below. The format list is the largest I ever see.
- Video format: 3gp/3g2(Nokia,Siemens,Sony,Ericsson) asf, avi (DivX,H263,H263+,H264,XviD,MPEG4,MSmpeg4 etc..), dat, fli, flc, flv (used in Flash), mkv, mpg (Mpeg I,Mpeg II), mov(H263,H263+,H264,MPEG4 etc..), mp4(H263,H263+,H264,MPEG4), ogg, qt, rm, ram, rmvb, str (Play Station), swf (Flash), ts (HDTV), viv, vob, wmv;
- Audio format : aac, ac3, amr, mmf, mp2, mp3, mp4, mpc, ogg, ra, wav, wma
- It supports easy configuration of the essential output video parameters (size, fps and video bitrate) during file conversion,
simplifying the user’s encoding process while parsing internally optimized video commands for best encoding results.
- It supports Easy configuration of the essential output audio parameters (sampling rate, number of channels and audio bitrate)
during file conversion, simplifying the user’s encoding process while parsing internally optimized audio commands
for best encoding results.
- It has Unique Advanced H.264 profile & level selection. Not available in any other software.
- It provides multiple batch file processing by simple file drag and drop.
- It has a built-in Multimedia File Analyzing engine (Portions by MediaInfo) to show tags and internal structure of ALL source
files with a double click.

I normally use the following setting to convert video for my 8310.
- Output format: mp4
- Output Video Codec: MPEG-4
- Output Audio Codec: AAC
- Video Scale Size: 320:240 (240:260 for 8100 series)
- Frame Rate: 25 fps
- Bitrate: 384 kbps
If you’d like to convert Youtube clips to mp4 video, sorry, SUPER can’t do it directly. But you can use TechCrunch to download the clip to your hardrive as an flv file first, then use SUPER to convert it to mp4 fairly smoothly. That said, SUPER can pretty much convert all the available video clips to playable format in your BB.
To download SUPER, go to eRightSoft website, or simply click here.
