Compression techniques | Jerry Hofmann reviews: The Sorenson Squeeze 4 Compression Suite
In this article, Jerry Hofmann reviews the Sorenson Squeeze 4 Compression Suite. "If you've read my reviews before about Sorenson's efforts in the Mac World, you'll know I've long been a fan of the company's products. The ALL NEW version of Sorenson Compression suite 4 is shipping now, and is by far the company's best effort to date, and I've been running the Squeeze 3 version, and have always found it easy to use, but this new version really takes the cake. Sporting a much beefier interface, Sorenson's new release adds new support for HD, including Apple's own recent codec, H.264. This is just the beginning however."
