Sorensen Squeeze 4.2 Beta

Posted by Mark Nelson on 29th August 2005 | Permanent Link

Sorenson Media issues this press release touting the beta release of their 4.2 compression suite. Like all the hip companies these days, this means a public beta that you are free to download and try out, basically lending your time to their testing effort.

So what’s new in this product? Looks to me like the big news is the inclusion of the ON2 VP6 codec, to be supported in Flash 8, which was news to me. Good for ON2, a company with a good product that seems to be perpetually fighting its way against a huge tide.
