Sorenson Squeeze Suite 4.5 is the industry-leading video encoding tool, enabling users to efficiently re-purpose video content for web, CD or DVD applications.
Includes Sorenson Video 3 Pro, Sorenson Spark Pro, Sorenson MPEG-4 Pro and Sorenson AVC Pro video codecs.
Key New Features in Squeeze Compression Suite 4.5
• Up to 3x speed boost while encoding and preprocessing
• Improved H.264
• 3GPP and PSP output support
• Meta data input and output for Flash, QuickTime, Windows Media, MPEG-4, and MP3
• Universal Binaries for Mac OS X on Intel
• DVD disc burning
• New and improved encoding presets
• Enhanced preferences
• - Set default output location
• - Set the encoding thread priority
Simplicity
Video compression is as easy as 1, 2, 3:
1. Open an uncompressed video file
2. Select an intelligent preset
3. Press "Squeeze It"
Quality
Achieve the best audio and video quality on the desktop and maximize the impact of your media with Sorenson Squeeze.
• 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 Variable Bit Rate (VBR) compression
Squeeze supports Two-Pass VBR, which produces higher-quality video than standard compression while only adding slightly more processing time.
• High Definition (HD) encoding options
Squeeze includes High Definition (HD) encoding options for AVC/H.264, Flash, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, QuickTime, RealMedia, and *Windows Media.
• Audio and video filters
With Squeeze, users get maximum flexibility with advanced control of audio/video parameters such as:
• - Audio normalization
Squeeze analyzes your audio to find the loudest sound and then adjusts the audio to maximum volume.
• - 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.
• - 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.
• - Fade in/out
Fade in/out lets you create a black or white fade segments at the beginning or end of your movie.
• - 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).
• - 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.
• - White/black restore (with image smoothness slider)
Squeeze gives you the option to control the levels of white and black in your video.
Productivity and Workflow
Squeeze provides powerful features that allow you to streamline your workflow and maximize your job throughput.
• Up to 3x faster encoding--New!
Squeeze 4.5 encodes up to 3x faster than Squeeze 4.3. Improvements have been made in On2 Flash, MPEG-2 and many pre-processing features.
• Native MacIntel support--New!
MacOS X on Intel processors is supported natively.
• FLV player
The new Sorenson Media FLV player makes it possible to play and preview all of your encoded FLV files. Clicking the play button on encoded FLV files from within the batch window in Squeeze automatically launches the FLV player for instant previewing of the FLV.
• Improved, easy to edit Flash player skins templates for SWF and FLV
Easily customize and change the look and feel without adding a great deal of file size to video projects. These new FLA files are easy to edit in Flash with easy to follow documentation.
• Linked or embedded FLV option for SWF
Squeeze now follows Macromedia's recommended method for linking to an FLV from SWF files by default. This feature also makes it possible to have player controls for an FLV that is located on a remote server.
• Metadata encoding/passthrough--New!
Meta data input and output for Flash, QuickTime, Windows Media, MPEG-4, and MP3.
• Source pixel aspect ratio control
Squeeze now automatically detects the source file's pixel aspect ratio. The user can use the source pixel auto detection or they can define the sources pixel aspect ratio manually.
• Integration
• - DVD
• - - Send to DVD Authoring
Squeeze sends the encoded video clip directly to Avid DVD by Sonic on Windows and DVD Studio Pro on the Mac.
• - - Chapter Markers for DVD
Now Avid users are able to transfer chapter markers to Squeeze or even set up and edit chapter markers directly within Squeeze.
• - - Directly Burn DVD Disks--New!
Now Avid users are able to transfer chapter markers to Squeeze or even set up and edit chapter markers directly within Squeeze. Squeeze will also store the encoded DVD image to a hard drive for burning by a different burning application.
• - Flash
• - - Alpha channel support for Flash 8 (requires On2 VP6 codec)
Support for a real alpha channel at run-time. This revolutionary new capability provides the unique ability to overlay video composited with a transparent (even semi-transparent) alpha channel over other Flash content. Create dynamic presentations with presenters shot in front of a blue screen.
• - Optional tasks dialog
The publish dialog let you send encoded media directly to an FTP site, a new location on your hard drive, burning to DVD, or even open the file in a new application.
• - Transport Streams for HDV, DVHS, and broadcast television
Several transport streams types have been enabled within Squeeze 4.5 so that users can leverage the latest formats.

This feature allows ActionScript variables to be encoded as part of the video and Flash Player templates.
• Multi-Bit-Rate file creation for Windows Media** and RealMedia
Create a single file with all of the common data rates. Visitors to the Web site, who access your file will receive the appropriate data rate for their connection speed.
• Ability to constrain output file sizes
