 | | Sorenson Media today announced the upcoming beta release of Sorenson MPEG-4 codec, which offers compliance with the ISO MPEG-4 specification, capable of decoding H.263 (short-header MPEG-4), automatic scene change detection, support for two-pass VBR compression, media key support through secure encryption (available only for QT), and encoders optimized for G4/Altivec. |
 | | Sorenson 3.0 comes closer, but you can still see that the quality is not as good at bitrates of 1000kbps or lower. |
 | | Sorenson has now made a beta implementation of the ISO MPEG-4 v2 specification, which includes extensions such as VKI (variable keyframe interval) and 2-pass VBR (variable bitrate) encoding. |
