Sorenson Squeeze is a very nice, multi-format encoding tool. This almost-entirely-Flash-focused update…

• Adds alpha channel support for the On2 VP6 codec
• Adds On2 VP6 Pro plug-in support for Macintosh
• Allows you to create embedded cue points for Flash
• Improves Flash Player skin templates for SWF and FLV
• Lets you create linked or embedded FLV for SWF files
• Lets you to enter global metadata on source files for Flash output
• Includes a Sorenson FLV player

Additionally — and this is useful for any output format — it provides pixel aspect ratio control for your soure.

Sadly, two-pass VBR Flash encoding is still a $199 option…crazy! Also, the application “skin” still resembles a late-90s shareware MP3 player.

The 4.3 update is free to users of any edition of Sorenson Squeeze, 4.0 or later.
