The LEADTOOLS DVR Module allows developers to pause, rewind, and fast-forward live streams. Typical sources could be live TV streams, live MPEG2 Transport data streaming or RTP/UDP/TCP. Additionally, developers can copy or convert the buffer to another format or DVD. The DVR module supports MPEG-2 Program streams and MPEG-2 Transport stream support is also available. This module consist of two main components:

DVRSink Interface
The LEAD DVR Sink filter uses the LEAD intelligent time-shifting algorithm to write live video/audio streams to disk for playback. Complete control of the buffer size is provided, including support for having the buffer span more than one disk. The LEAD DVR Sink filter should be used in conjunction with the LEAD DVR Source filter.
DVRSource Interface
The LEAD DVR Source filter is used to read video and audio streams from files created by the LEAD DVR Sink filter. This filter allows the LEAD Player Control to play, pause, rewind, and fast forward live streams.
