Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: 1-6 months

Recommend Product: NO

Squeeze is supposed to be more powerful, flexible, etc., than the Flash 8 Video encoder that came with Flash 8. Guess what? It is the buggiest, most poorly documented, hard to understand piece of garbage software I've ever tried to use in a production environment.

And if you pay the $150 for a license for the magical ON2 VP6 codec that is supposed to blow your socks off, the 2-Pass VBR still doesn't work after 2 releases (exports as audio only with no video).

Just say no to Squeeze.

And to boot, 2 pass CBR also broken. So one pass encoding is all you get.

I heard that there was an audio problem with pops and clicks in this version. Is that fixed yet?

Do you have any other recommendations for large project [multi-file] processing for FLV?

I hear that the limit is 1000 files at a time? Or 100 files at a time? It doesn't stop working forever after you've processed 100 files ... no?
