Sorenson Squeeze
Optimize and deliver content in a create-once-publish-anywhere world. With Sorenson Squeeze 5, you can optimize content in a variety of formats (including HD, DVD, MPEG-2, MPEG-4/H.264, Flash, and 3GPP) for web or DVD delivery, author DVDs and Blu-ray Discs on Windows, and burn discs on a PC and now Macs too. This latest version lets you work faster with simultaneous multi-file encoding, new and improved codecs, audience presets, a new plug-in architecture, and new filters (including Watermark, Hue and Saturation, Sharpen, Audio Duration, and Audio Volume). Achieve the highest quality audio with AC-3 compatibility and 5.1 and 7.1 surround support. Perform simple encoding tasks in three easy steps or batch process files for more complex jobs.
