I'm talking about Sorenson *Spark*. It's a codec. It's not a program. Sorenson Spark was the first FLV format supported in Flash Player, starting with version 6. It was superceded by On2 VP6 with the introduction of Flash 8.
Now with Flash 8 having 99% or so penetration there is no reason to continue using the old Sorenson Spark codec. People still use it because it's the encoder built into FFmpeg. FFmpeg is free. It does not (currently) support encoding to VP6 FLV.
The programs Sorenson Squeeze and Sorenson Squeeze for Flash are not free (anything but) and they are very good. The latest versions of Squeeze for Flash natively supports VP6 FLV, as well as the older Spark codec of course, and H.264.
Hope that clears things up.
