History[edit]

Sorenson Squeeze was first announced on July 17, 2001 as the first variable bit rate (VBR) compression application for Mac OS X,^[2][3] and was released on October 29 of that same year.^[4] By March 2002 Sorenson Squeeze was also available for Windows OS.^[5] Sorenson Squeeze was originally released as a tool for encoding videos for the Web and QuickTime playback but began adding new codecs^[6][7][8] as more versions were released.
