Tutorial: SUPERVIEW with NIEK Script - the SUPER EASY way

Wanna get the cool, fisheyed look that most freestylers achieve with gopros Superview? Check this free little converter which can even convert a bunch of files at once. Super easy! No settings no fiddeling around with options, just run a script.
1.) download this NIEK SUPERVIEW Script
and extract all 3 *.EXE files into your SYSTEM32 folder (i.E. c:\windows\system32)
If this scares you - it also works to have this *.exe files in the same folder as your videos - they just have to be available for the BAT script...

 2.) copy the "Superview all.bat" File to the folder where you have your 4:3 source Videos 

3.) run this file and either enter a single videos filename when asked - or easier, just hit ENTER to have all MP4 files from this folder converted automatically into a "superview" subfolder. 
 Tip: Depending on your OS' paranoia mode (aka security settings) you might need to start the script as admin, or even have to lower "user account control" bar to lowest settings. 

 I've also compared a few other methods to convert 4:3 video to 16:9 with old GoproStudio, MeshWarp filter on Vegas and then I compared results:
   

Alternatives: InDrone Productions showed me this -> MeeKaah Superviou:
  • nice proggy with drag and drop rather then command line
  • available for MAC as well
  • can upscale to 4k if needed
  • speed, filesize same as NIEK
  • I miss batch conversion option (more than one video)
