"Through new tools and services introduced during the past 12 months, Sorenson Media has aggressively advanced its vision of providing simple and affordable solutions that enable people everywhere to easily compress and deliver video over the Internet, IP-based networks, and a new generation of consumer digital devices," said James L. Sorenson Jr., Sorenson Media CEO. "We are at the forefront of this industry and our newly announced versions of Sorenson Squeeze along with new and extended partnerships are shaping the way that customers can easily compress digital video into significantly smaller file sizes so that high-quality video can be affordably delivered."

The Sorenson Squeeze 3 Compression Suite ($449) provides a single interface to process and encode video for Web and CD delivery. It is designed to integrate seamlessly into the video editing and multimedia production workflow, speeding up the encoding process while outputting the highest quality video in all popular delivery formats.

The Suite includes two core tools. Sorenson Squeeze 3 for Macromedia Flash MX is the ultimate tool for Flash developers and designers to easily create rich Flash video content and applications. Sorenson Squeeze 3 for MPEG-4, also available in a standalone product ($199), built on the foundation of the MPEG-4 standard, brings new levels of video quality for Internet, Intranet, and embedded applications.

The new products are expected to ship in the first quarter of 2003. For more information, visit the Sorenson media website.
