Sorenson Squish 1.0
I don’t know how I missed this. Sorenson released a Java-based application, Sorenson Squish 1.0, that companies can embed in their web content to allow end-users to encode their videos on their local machine before uploading a Flash-based FLV file to their site.
Sorenson Squish(R) embeds the power of Sorenson’s award-winning Squeeze(R) Compression Suite into any Web page on your site, allowing you to easily accept user-submitted video. Encoding is done on the local machine, so you can add this functionality to your site without any additional infrastructure costs. Users can drag-and-drop video files onto the Squish applet or capture video streams from Webcams or camcorders, and have them be automatically encoded and uploaded to any network-accessible host. Sorenson Squish offers the industry’s highest-quality compression, combined with unparalleled ease-of-use.

it’s $1 USD per “user”. i assume user means uploader not downloader. minimum cost is $5k per annum

I believe it does not use Flash 8/9 video (On2 VP6 codec), just Flash 6/7 video (Sorenson Spark codec) out of the box…
On2’s Flix Publisher (announced last month) is a similar product and does the newer video AFAIK.

It’s basically a YouTube in a box solution and it makes it very easy to have the video encoded on the clients computer rather than uploading a large file and then encoding it.
