Sorenson Squeeze 3.5 Compression Suite

Sorenson Squeeze 3.5 Compression Suite (Windows)

Includes Sorenson Video 3 Pro, Sorenson Spark Pro, and Sorenson MPEG-4 Pro video codecs

Sorenson Squeeze 3.5 allows you to compress and deliver high-quality QuickTime, Windows Media (7, 8, and 9), RealMedia, MPEG-4, and Flash media for streaming and progressive downloads, CDs, and now DVDs.

Features:
Sorenson Squeeze 3.5 Compression Suite


One-Pass Variable Bit Rate (VBR) compression

One-Pass VBR compression reduces processing time to non-VBR standards while delivering only slightly lower quality than Two-Pass VBR compression.


Two-Pass VBR compression

Squeeze supports Two-Pass VBR, which produces higher-quality video than standard compression while only adding slightly more processing time.


In/out Trim Points

With this feature, you can create multiple output files from a single source file without having to chop up your original source.


Constrain output file size

Squeeze allows you to request a final target output file size and adjusts the compression settings to reach the desired file size.


Intelligent presets

Squeeze includes optimized presets for streaming, progressive download, as well as local delivery with various data rates for each preset. Squeeze lets advanced users customize their settings.


DV Capture

Squeeze captures digital video through any DV source, whether it is a digital video camera or an analog-to-digital converter.


Batch Processing through Watch Folders
Squeeze saves you time by using Watch folders to process multiple files.


Stitching for large SWF files

Stitching takes larger files and breaks them into smaller SWF files. The stitched files then play in succession like one long movie instead of a series of short videos.


Player templates for SWF output

Squeeze lets you create your own custom video players built for the Flash Player 6.


Integrated links for SWF output

This feature allows ActionScript variables to be encoded as part of the video and Flash Player templates.


Playback action controls for SWF output

This feature allows ActionScript variables to be encoded as part of the video and Flash Player templates.


Adjustable Cropping

Squeeze's cropping ability allows you to "cut out" undesirable areas within your video.


Customizable toolbar

Squeeze now offers you the convenience of customizing the toolbar to meet your needs.


Audio/Video Filters

With Squeeze, users get maximum flexibility with advanced control of audio/video parameters such as:


Telecine removal

Telecine removal maintains video quality by removing the extra frames that are added (3:2 pull down) when film (24 frames per second) is transferred to video (30 frames per second).



Fade in/out

Fade in/out lets you create a black or white fade segments at the beginning or end of your movie.



Contrast/brightness

Contrast changes the range of dark to light pixels in a linear fashion. Brightness makes the image lighter or darker. These two filters can improve the compression quality.



Smoothing

Smoothing evens out blocky edges for low data rate video.



Audio Normalization

Squeeze analyzes your audio to find the loudest sound and then adjusts the audio to maximum volume.



Video noise reduction

The video noise reduction feature reduces video noise in your content without causing it to look fuzzy. Reducing noise can increase video encoding quality.



Deinterlacing

Squeeze's deinterlacing feature can make your video look better by removing interlacing artifacts caused by the two fields per frame nature of conventional video.



White/black restore

Squeeze gives you the option to control the levels of white and black in your video.


Note: All filter settings can now be saved after purchasing an electronic copy of Squeeze today, or by downloading the free upgrade once you have installed the shipped copy of Squeeze 3.





MPEG-4 support

Squeeze includes tools for MPEG-4 Visual Simple Profile and Visual Advanced Simple Profile.



Video output support

Squeeze supports output for multiple formats including QuickTime, Windows Media (7, 8, and 9), RealMedia, Flash, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, and MPEG-4 media for streaming, progressive downloads, CDs, and now DVDs.



Sorenson Vcast integration

Squeeze integrates with Sorenson Media's Vcast service for video storage and delivery. Vcast allows you to easily and affordably deliver rich media content to anyone, anywhere in the world over the Web.

Thanks, I'll check it out. Will be a few days though as I'm somewhat busy at the moment. But it sure sounds interesting, I wonder if it mows the lawn as well ?
