Dave Armstrong, QA Lead, Sorenson Media Inc. had a good tip about Sorenson Squeeze in the last Sorenson Newsletter:

Have you ever needed to limit your output file size to a specified amount? Using our Constrain File Size preset option can help. The Constrain File Size option can be found in the upper right hand corner of the compression settings once you have applied a setting to your file. The key to using this feature to the best of its abilities is to just use it as a basic guide. When you type in the File Size limit you need, you will notice that the Audio/Video Data Rates update with it. So check the box for Constrain File Size, type the desired value, and uncheck the Constrain File Size box, you now have a base data rate that should put you close to your mark. This now gives you the added ability to tweak the Data Rates as you desire with the knowledge of what your Overall Data Rate should stay at.
