I've used Super a great deal (as well as other tools like Xilisoft MP4 Converter, Blaze Media Pro, Camtasia, ConvertXtoDVD, and many others).

Super is by far the most twitchy / temperamental - but fair enough to, it is free and still in development.

The trick with Super is to play around with the settings - makes sure you have the "encode video" and "encode audio" checkboxes checked. Also, often Super cannot determine the input video's format, resolution, frame rate, bit rate, etc, so often you need to set these settings manually.

I'd bet that Super could not recognise the input video format - and that's why it's coming out black. It's happened to me in the past.

Super is also tricky to use - there's many settings that are available (start time, encoded length, etc), but getting to them isn't obvious - you have really got to explore and have a good play around and do a lot of trial and error tests to get it to do what you want.

Sorry I'm not being less vague or more helpful here - Super is on my other machine, so don't have it here in front of me to say more.

If you need more information, please let me know and I'll do up some screen shots / help to find your way around. (There may even be a guide on Super's web site somewhere ?)

Oh, BTW, if you need to convert any videos to DVD format, I *HIGHLY* recommend ConvertXtoDVD - you just drag and drop all the videos you want on the DVD into the main window, add / edit the menus you want, and then click START. It could not be easier and it handled every single video I've thrown at it so far (lots of variations of each of these: AVI, WMV, MOV, MP4, MPG, FLV, etc, etc, etc). An amazing program and one of the few I'd give a 10 / 10 rating. It's commercial but well worth the price.
