Say, at the end of a day of shooting throwing all the h265 files into Adobe Media Encoder and doing an overnight render to ProRes 422 for editing? I've got a fully souped up 27' Retina iMac that has no problem editing real time with 4K h264 files from my Inspire 1, even with color correction added.

Key people Patrick Nola () Website Sorenson Media was an American software company specializing in technology. Established in December 1995 as Sorenson Vision, the company developed technology which was and ultimately acquired from. The company first announced its (compression and decompression tool) at a developer’s preview at in January 1997. One of the company's best known products is the Sorenson Video codec licensed to for their 3.0 software. Since its release, Sorenson Media’s video encoding technology was used in Apple's web site and for film studios such as,,, and, as well as Apple's music videos, before the switch to the industry standard format. The company is led by its chairman and founder James Lee Sorenson; its president and CEO is Patrick Nola.

It was designed to output its video to a deaf user's standard television set in order to lower the cost of acquisition. It also provided a, and a designed for improved video quality and ease of use with a (VRS). The product received favorable reviews [ ] and is used at educational facilities for the deaf [ ], and elsewhere [ ] in the deaf community. Following the introduction of similar by other electronics manufacturers, the, and authorized by the U.S. In 2002, VRS for the deaf underwent rapid growth in the United States. Encoding technologies [ ] Sorenson codec may refer to either of three video codecs: Sorenson Video [ ] Two versions of Sorenson Video were released, both using SVQ1 as their. Version one first appeared with the release of QuickTime 3 on March 30, 1998.

The backward-compatible version two was released with QuickTime 4 on March 11, 1999, which mainly included minor improvements and optimizations to the Developer Edition of the encoder, so encoded movies would be backwards compatible with the QuickTime 3 release. Changes for version two were only made to the encoder, not to the compression format. This format uses a 4:1:0, which means every block of eight pixels share the same color components, which can cause across pixels. This was solved in version 3 and the Spark version which both use the more common YCbCr 4:2:0. Supports decoding of Sorenson Video since 2002, encoding of SVQ1 was added in 2004 for 0.4.9-pre1. Version two was given wide exposure from the release of the teaser trailer for on March 11, 1999.

The official specifications of the codec are not public. For a long time the only way to play back Sorenson Video was to use Apple's QuickTime or, which used files extracted from QuickTime for Windows. Sorenson Video 3 [ ] This incompatible version of Sorenson Video uses SVQ3 as its. This version was released with QuickTime 5.0.2 on July 1, 2001. It was available exclusively for QuickTime. Apple QuickTime later focused on other compression formats and moved Sorenson Video 3 to a separate group called 'legacy encoders'.

According to an anonymous developer of, of the SVQ3 codec (Sorenson Video 3) revealed it as a tweaked version of. The same developer added support for this codec to FFmpeg.

FFmpeg supports decoding of 'Sorenson Vector Quantizer 3' ( SVQ3) and Sorenson Vector Quantizer 1 (fourcc SVQ1) starting with version 0.4.7, released in 2003. Sorenson Video 3 comes with. Sorenson Spark [ ] Sorenson Spark is an implementation of for use in. Uses FLV1 and Adobe frame identifiers of 0x21, 0x22 and 0x23.

As Apple began to use and move away from other proprietary codecs, Sorenson Media licensed Sorenson Spark (Sorenson H.263) to, which was included with v6 on March 4, 2002. Sorenson Spark is the required video compression format for 6 and 7. Macromedia later tried to find a better video codec. Starting with Flash Player 8 (released in September 2005), the preferred video codec became. Sorenson Spark can be still used in the (2008) for Flash Video files (alongside and VP6).

I don't have UEFI, so I am hoping this will work so I can delete that pesky Windows.old file taking up precious real-estate on my (new, old one died) boot SSD. I tried changing the properties, and I swear I was able to delete that folder, but there it is again, taking up 10% of my main drive! Thank you again, even if this doesn't work, I have another computer I am working on with the same chipset (not that *that* matters in this case) and I can use that to delete the damned folder. Damn yous, TrustedInstaller! I hope this method works.
