April 22, 2005
Salt Lake City, UT - Sorenson Media is shipping Squeeze 4.1, the latest update to its video encoding and compression line-up for digital video.
The Sorenson Squeeze 4.1 Compression Suite has added the ability to set destinations for compressed video files, include chapter markers for DVD production, and create transport streams for HDV and DVHS, the company describes. Sorenson Squeeze 4.1 Compression Suite also introduces aacPlus audio and interoperates with optional Macintosh Windows Media 9 encoding components, allowing users to import and encode Windows Media 9 audio and video directly on the Mac.
All versions of Sorenson Squeeze 4.1 come with a new destination feature that users may select as an optional task. Customers may now set one or more destinations for the final video file while preparing video to be encoded or compressed. For the Sorenson Squeeze 4.1 Compression Suite Macintosh version, there is a preset destination to Avid's DVD by Sonic on the PC and to Apple's DVD Studio Pro on the Mac. Destinations can also be user-defined and may include other applications, multiple locations on a single computer, other computers connected to a shared network, or even to an FTP site. Using destinations, Sorenson Squeeze 4.1 will automatically deliver the final video files to the next step in the video editing or distribution process.
Sorenson Squeeze 4.1 has also integrated aacPlus audio and aacPlus audio presets. aacPlus is the audio codec favored by Internet, wireless, and digital broadcast media and communications. aacPlus audio delivers CD-quality sound with the ability to compress audio files to a fraction of their original size. The aacPlus audio presets help customers quickly apply the aacPlus codec to selected sources.
