Hmmm...  I don't think I've ever seen a "file access denied" message, but I'll check it out anyway.

But yeah, I can't even post the specs because the properties of the file don't give me the information that I thought they did...  Or I can't find it...  And like I said, SUPER won't let me open it...

I just got a new Zune80 and it has less file acceptance than my previous player, so I need to convert my vids to WMV, which I tried doing using the Microsoft-Zune preset and it failed.  It was an MPG file, if that helps any, but that's all I can find out about it...

Anyway, I'll check out those other topics...

ok, nothing happened...  I tried three times and it froze the first time, the second time direct show was on and the third it was off, neither one of them worked.  So sticky's 3 and 4 didn't fix the problem.

Again, problem is that most of my video files won't convert regardless of what they are and what I'm trying to do.  I always get an error message that tells me to mess with direct show or that my files might be corrupt (which I'm pretty sure they're not...).  I can't get to file specs because Super freezes when I try.  I'm running Vista 32 bit.  I'm trying to get video onto a Zune80.

Any suggestions?  Just let me know what you guys need to know and I'll do my best to get it to you.

Hello all.

Thanks for the post 96_Crypt.  I did all you suggested above and I too get the "error has occurred" problem in Vista Home Premium 32 bit when trying to rip my Spiderman 3 dvd I just bought yesterday.  I have tried w/ directshow on and off as well as several different output formats.  The files immediately error out.

I've come to the same problem, but in a stranger way. I wanted to download some youtube videos to show in my geography class and did it with save2pc, wich automaticaly converts them to mpeg or avi or wmv. Then after doing so a few times right, the software started to save files with those same extensions, but windows media player didn't recognize them, nor BS player. I found the way to watch them, but I couldn't use them on Adobe Premiere to compile a project or rip them in some way my dvd player accepts.
So I tried other free software to download youtube videos. The strange thing is they all worked in turn, but after a day or so, the files returned were again not playable.
And that's how I got to a firefox plugin to save the videos in flv and SUPER to convert them. This seemed to have solved my problem, but after some time SUPER stopped working with the message "an ERROR has occurresd. Click to read more".
My awkward solution was downloading Riva flv encoder to re-encode the flv files downloaded from youtube to new flv files and then converting them with SUPER.
This worked... and now, again, "an ERROR has occurresd. Click to read more", no matter what I try to convert.
This is really, really annoying. Some help would be greatly appreciated.

these are the steps reported by all users using Vista to solve the problem:
1.go to control panel > user accounts > turn user account control off (UAC)
2.go directly to where Super was installed and right click and "Run as Administrator".
3.turn all applications (super.exe, mencoder.exe, mplayer.exe, ff2ogg.exe,
ffmpeg.exe, mppenc.exe, x264.exe) in the "\program folder\erightsoft\super" to:
"xp compatibility mode" and "run as administrator"

I was facing a similar problem with SUPER. But, now its fine this solution worked for me.

I am having the same problems with Vista.  I tried the above, but still cannot convert any files.  Just getting the error message.  Also drag and drop files does not work, I have to manually add files.

Any assistance would be much apreciated.
