Sorenson Squeeze allows you to encode and deliver high-quality QuickTime media for streaming and progressive downloads. While most compression tools are cumbersome, with steep learning curves, Squeeze is easy to use and requires no in-depth knowledge of the complexities of compression technology.

Built for Sorenson Video 3, Sorenson Squeeze is the first Variable Bit Rate (VBR) compression application for novice and pro users alike. For beginners, its drag-and-drop interface makes intelligent compression of audio and video media as simple as selecting a data rate.

Sorenson Squeeze’s main interface includes seven buttons that correspond to preset data rates. All you need to do is select the data rate for your intended audience and click the "Squeeze It Now" button. Squeeze automatically selects the compression parameters to create the highest quality video possible.
