  Sorenson codec - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sorenson Video 2 was released in March 1999; however, it mainly included minor improvements and optimizations to the Developer Edition of the encoder, as movies encoded with it were backwards compatible with the Sorenson Video decoder.
As Apple began to move away from proprietary codecs with its embrace of MPEG-4, Sorenson Media next licensed the newest version of the codec to Macromedia as Sorenson Spark (Sorenson H.263), released with Macromedia Flash 6/MX on March 4, 2002.
The specifications of the codec were not public, and for a long time the only way to play back Sorenson video was to use Apple's QuickTime player, or the MPlayer for Unix/Linux, which in turn piggy-backed Microsoft Windows DLL-files extracted from Apple's player.

 Streamingmedia.com: Sorenson's SV3 Heats up Codec Battle
Although Apple had originally planned to include Sorenson 3 as the default codec in QuickTime 5 released this past April, release schedules staggered and QuickTime 5 went gold with the same SV2 codec delivered in QuickTime 4.
According to Sorenson Media, SV3 provides a greater than 100 percent increase in data efficiency over SV2, allowing for the same video quality to be rendered with less than one half the data size.
This makes Sorenson Media the only “big three” codec developer suggesting that the benefits of interoperability will outweigh the upside of better efficiency and quality that will always be delivered by proprietary systems.

 Sorenson vs. Cinepak   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
Sorenson is an excellent codec for low data rate movies, but the trick is that you have to limit its data rate, otherwise it won't be much better than Cinepak.
Another nice quality of the Sorenson codec is that it is much more tolerant of higher frame rates than Cinepak is. That is, there is little difference in file size whether your movie's frame rate is 5 fps or 15 fps.
The digital artifacts at the end of the Sorenson movie above probably could have been avoided with the Developer Edition of the Sorenson Video codec.
