LEAD H.263 Video Codec $49

(Download only) H.263 is an ITU standard, designed for low bit rate communications such as video-conferencing and video-telephony applications. At the same time it can be used for a wide range of bit rates and not just low bit rates. H.263 is a hybrid of interframe compression that makes use of temporal redundancy and intraframe transform coding to use spatial redundancy as a compression advantage. Accordingly, a superior compression ratio can be achieved in comparison to other video codecs.

The LEAD H.263 codec is a high quality lossy interframe DirectShow and Video for Windows (VfW) codec with a quality and compression ratio comparable to MPEG-4. It can be used for a range of applications including video-conferencing, Internet video or surveillance and monitoring. The LEAD H.263 codec is suitable for videos captured from cameras as well as video screen captures. This video codec registers into the Windows® collection of multimedia drivers and integrates with any application using DirectShow and Microsoft Video for Windows®. Existing video software, such as Windows® Media Player® and Ulead Media Studio® can utilize this codec to play, create, convert and edit.
