LCODCCMW3.DLL LCMW3.DLL DSKernel2.DLL
The LEAD MCMW codec is a wavelet compressor/decompressor that registers into the Windows® collection of multimedia drivers and integrates with any application using DirectShow. It uses proprietary wavelet compression to compress images hundreds of times smaller than uncompressed images without producing compression artifacts that can be found in MJPEG compression. Wavelet compression translates to higher quality video with smaller files sizes.
DSKernel2.DLL
The LEAD MCMP/MJPEG codec offers the power to compress TV quality video at 30 frames per second in real-time. Additionally, because the codec includes MJPEG and MCMP, the codec adds the flexibility of using standard or proprietary encoding. The LEAD MCMP/MJPEG codec integrates with any application using DirectShow or Video for Windows.
LCODCJ2K2.DLL LMJ2K2.DLL DSKernel2.DLL
The LEAD JPEG2000 Video codec saves standard JPEG2000 streams. This codec is particularly useful when high compression and interoperability are necessary. JPEG2000 provides high compression with image quality superior to all existing standard encoding techniques. This high compression and quality performance is due to the adaptation of wavelet transforms.

LCODC26X2.DLL, DSKernel2.DLL
The LEAD H.263 codec is a high quality lossy interframe codec with a quality and compression ratio comparable with MPEG-4. It can be used for video-conferencing or for compressing large files. The LEAD H.263 codec is suitable for videos captured from cameras as well as video captured from screen.
LDECH2643.DLL
LENCH2643.DLL DSKernel2.DLL
LEAD H264 Video Codec is a state-of-the-art DirectShow filter for compressing and decompressing video data using H.264/AVC standard. H.264 is the latest and most advanced video standard developed jointly by ITU and MPEG. H.264/AVC provides a far more efficient algorithm for compressing video than any other compression method available. It typically outperforms all existing standards by a factor of three to four especially in comparison to MPEG-2.
LENCH264DMO2.DLL DSKernel2.DLL
The LEAD H264 Encoder (DMO) is a DirectX Media Object (DMO) filter for compressing video data using the H.264/AVC standard. The H.264 standard is the latest video standard developed jointly by ITU and MPEG. The H.264/AVC standard provides a far more efficient algorithm for compressing video. It typically outperforms all existing standards by a factor of three to four especially in comparison to MPEG-2.
LENCH264DMO2.DLL DSKernel2.DLL
The LEAD H264 Encoder Advanced (DMO) is a DirectX Media Object (DMO) filter for compressing video data using the H.264/AVC standard. The H.264 standard is the latest video standard developed jointly by ITU and MPEG. The H.264/AVC standard provides a far more efficient algorithm for compressing video. It typically outperforms all existing standards by a factor of three to four especially in comparison to MPEG-2.
In addition to the capabilities supported by the standard LEAD H264 Encoder Filter (DMO), the LEAD H264 Encoder Filter Advanced (DMO) supports the following features:
Fixed bit rate compression. The standard version supports
only variable bit rate compression.
The ability to use smaller blocks in motion estimation.
The standard can use only 16 X 16 blocks. The advanced can use 16 X 16,
16 X 8, 8 X 16, 8 X 8, ... 4 X 4 blocks. These extra types of blocks will
increase compression, allowing the advanced to compress more than the
standard.
Capability to use different compression rates at different
time periods throughout the video. This is implemented by using a time
quality factor file. This feature makes it possible to optimize compression
for the best performance.
The LEAD MPEG-2 Video Decoder is a DirectShow filter for decompressing MPEG-2 video data.
DSKernel2.DLL
The LEAD MPEG-2 Video Encoder is a DirectShow filter for compressing Video data using MPEG-2 standard (ISO/IEC 13818-2) or MPEG-1 standard (ISO 11172-2).
MPEG-1 is the older standard and achieves higher compression than MPEG-2 (but at lower quality). MPEG-1 compression is used in VCD (video on CD).
MPEG-2 is the newer standard and has lower compression than MPEG-1 but the quality is much better than MPEG-1. MPEG-2 is a high quality video compression algorithm and is best suited for applications with higher bit rates or high-bandwidth usage. The most common applications include DVD-Videos, SVCD and digital TVs. The compressed video data can be stored inside MPEG, AVI, or Ogg files with the option of saving the file with or without the audio data.
LDecMPG4.DLL LDecMPG4Krn.DLL DSKernel2.DLL
The LEAD MPEG-4 Decoder is a DirectShow filter for decompressing Video data using the MPEG-4 standard (ISO/IEC 14496-2). MPEG-4 is suitable for a wide range of bandwidths from low bandwidth to broadband. In addition to MP4 files, MPEG4 compressed video data can be stored inside AVI or OGG files with the option of saving the file with or without the audio data.
LEncMPG4.DLL LEncMPG4Krn.DLL DSKernel2.DLL
The LEAD MPEG-4 Encoder is a DirectShow filter for compressing video data using the MPEG-4 standard (ISO/IEC 14496-2). MPEG-4 is suitable for a wide range of bandwidths from low bandwidth to broadband. In addition to MP4 files, MPEG4 compressed video data can be stored inside AVI or OGG files with the option of saving the file with or without the audio data. The LEAD MPEG-4 Video Encoder is easily configurable through both a programming interface and a user interface and provides the ability to deliver a video that is most suitable for the intended application.
LCODCSCR.DLL
DSKernel2.DLL
LEAD's Screen Capture Video Codec is a multimedia compressor/decompressor which registers into the Windows® collection of multimedia drivers (under the DirectShow Video Compressors category) and integrates with any application using DirectShow.
Existing video software, such as Windows® Media Player® and Ulead Media Studio®, can utilize this codec to play, create, and edit industry standard LEAD's proprietary LSCR files. This codec is designed and most suited for screen-captured streams, best for presentations and applications tutoring. LSCR delivers much smaller file sizes yet uses a lossless compression technique.
