Adding NewTek Native File Codecs to Your System by Chuck Baker Earlier this year in the v3.3 FFmpeg update, support was added for NewTek’s SpeedHQ native video file format, making it available in the many applications using the FFmpeg libraries. (Read the details here: NewTek’s Native Video File Format Goes Global.) Many applications, however, require codecs to be separately installed on an operating system in order to make them available in an application. For those applications, NewTek provides codec installers for Windows and Mac on our Downloads Page.
