Video a la sorenson

[sefs]

Has anyone here ever used sorenson squeeze. I would like to find an equivalent application in linux. Does any such thing exist as yet?

Thanks.

mencoder does the hard work of video encoding in the free software universe. It's not that easy to use.
Kmenc15 is a (KDE) gui frontend for mencoder, can't say i've tried it.

Squeeze allows encoding with the VP6 codec, for which I'm not aware of a linux version.

If I need to encode flash video in Linux, I use ffmpeg (flash 7). It's fairly simple to scratch out a script that will do batch encodes and filename formatting. Far from the same thing as squeeze, as it's lacking the nice GUI for cropping and color correction, but you *can* do it all from the command line.

If anyone knows of a better solution, I'd love to know about it.

oops! I lied! Looks like On2 has released a VP6 encoder for linux . . .

So there is an encoder for flash8 available for linux now, but I have no idea what the price is.
