LEAD H264 is a DirectShow filter for compressing and decompressing Video data using the H264/AVC standard. H264 is the latest video standard developed jointly by ITUand MPEG. H264/AVC provides a far more efficient algorithm for compressing video.It typically outperforms all existing standards by a factor of three to four especiallyin comparison to MPEG-2.

LEAD MPEG-4 is a DirectShow filter for compressing/decompressing video data usingthe MPEG-4 (ISO/IEC 14496-2) standard. MPEG-4 is suitable for a wide range of bandwidths, from low bandwidth to broadband.

Also known as a decompressor, this is a module or algorithm to decompress data.

The LEAD AC3 Audio Codec is a DirectShow filter that supports the encoding of audio streams using the AC3 standard. The LEAD AC3 encoder provides options to control the quality and the number of output channels. AC3 is a 5.1 format, which means that it provides five full bandwidth channels: front left, front right, center, surround left, and surround right. A low-frequency effect (LFE) channels is included for the sound needed for special effects and action sequences in movies. AC3 also has a downmixing feature that ensures compatibility with devices that do not support the 5.1 format.
