Using the Apple AVC Codec for iPod Video in Sorenson Squeeze 4.5
There was a new codec implemented at the release of Sorenson Squeeze Compression Suite 4.5. The codec is called the Apple AVC Codec and you will see many improvements when using this codec. One area where you will see significant improvements is for encoding video for the video iPod. All users should be using the Apple AVC Codec for iPod Video in Sorenson Squeeze 4.5. If you're encoding video that you want to keep at 29.97 or 30 frames per second with high quality then you need to use this codec. If fixes some of the noise that might be introduced using other H.264/AVC codecs at 29.97 and 30 frames per second.
To get the highest quality use the Multi-pass mode which uses 5-6 passes when encoding video.
