Sorenson Media Squeeze 8 is industry-standard video encoder with a wealth of new features. Now you can convert projects into the popular H.246 format at even greater speeds with the increased acceleration and parallel processing that come with NVIDIA CUDA GPUs. Adaptive encoding has also been added--automatically adjusting video quality based on your audience's Internet connection.

Deliver video and/or audio in your choice of broadcast and web formats, whether burning to DVD or Blu-ray, streaming online, prepping for download, or even screening on an iPad. No matter how simple or complex your encoding needs, Squeeze 8 works quickly and efficiently to give you improved image quality with minimum waiting. And if you're new to Squeeze or simply need some helpful reminders, the included video tutorials, tips, and tools will keep your project running smoothly..

Integration with Squeeze Server
The new version's seamless integration with Squeeze Server maximizes encoding and transcoding power for the enterprise and other high-volume users by enabling users to free up their desktop machines by offloading encoding jobs to a separate server. Squeeze Server enables secure video encoding behind a user's firewall, and can easily run in any Windows-based server environment - including the Cloud.

Adaptive Bitrate Support for Most Popular Formats
A major improvement over Squeeze 7, this latest release now includes optimized performance for all three leading adaptive bitrate streaming platforms: Adobe Dynamic Streaming; Apple HTTP Adaptive Streaming; and Microsoft Smooth Streaming. The unique adaptive bitrate support automatically transcodes each individual video file into multiple, chunked segments in a full array of bitrates, organizes these segments into a folder, and delivers them to the specified destinations for playback on any device. This process simplifies and streamlines workflows by eliminating unnecessary tools and steps required by other applications.

Full x264 Support and Optimization
In addition to being the current quality leader for encoding using the MainConcept H.264 codec, Sorenson Squeeze 8 is one of the first commercial video encoding applications to include full support for the increasingly popular x264 codec. This new support opens the x264 codec in a way that has never been done before, employing an intuitive user interface, complete with in-product instructions that enable video professionals to easily adjust and optimize up to 48 major encoding parameters, including key frame rates, encoding modes and performance, to adapt the popular H.264 format to their needs and workflow.

Enhanced GPU Acceleration
Optimized for Squeeze 8, GPU acceleration using NVIDIA CUDA has become the best option for creating .mp4 proxy files in both speed and quality. CUDA encoding enables both faster encoding and video quality equal to video content encoded without GPU acceleration, including true to source black levels.

Ease-of-Use
In addition, Sorenson Squeeze 8 re-thinks the user experience and includes new features to improve the overall ease-of-use of the application and give users greater control of their videos, including:

• Tooltips serve as a ready-reference guide giving users additional details by simply hovering the curser over any button or control.
• Fine-grain controls associated with each codec enable users to adjust more aspects within each setting.
• New Preset naming conventions gives users greater control and organization of more than 246 Presets shipped with Squeeze 8.
• Enhanced Preset Exchange provides users broader and more intuitive access to Presets developed by some of the world's leading encoding professionals.
• Encode preview has been refined to display five seconds of encoded video to visually demonstrate encoded video easily and clearly before an encode is run.
