Also known as an encoder, this is a module or algorithm to compress data. Playing that data back requires a decompressor, or decoder.

DV stands for Digital Video and has been defined in "Specification of Consumer-use Digital VCRs" (aka the Blue Book).

A module that combines audio and video into one file.

Also known as compressor, this is a module or algorithm to compress data. Playing that data back requires a decompressor, or decoder .

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

The format to be used for the converted file. This includes the file format, any special settings used by that format, and which audio and/or video codec is to be used for the conversion, and any special settings used by the codecs.

A COmpressor combined with a DECompressor, or encoder and a decoder, which allows you to both compress and decompress that same data.

[Flash Version 9 format. Uses ISO multiplexer, H264 video compression and AAC audio compression. Unlike FLV format, this format does not have restrictions on the audio frequency. Also known as Flash HD]

The ltmmConvert_TargetFormat constants define the target file format.

Constant

Description

ltmmConvert_TargetFormat_Avi

[0] AVI audio/video format.

ltmmConvert_TargetFormat_WMV

[1] Windows Media WMV audio/video format. For information about Windows Media Support, click here .

ltmmConvert_TargetFormat_WAVE

[2] WAVE audio format.

ltmmConvert_TargetFormat_MPEG1Audio

[3] MPEG1 audio format. User must select a MPEG1 compatible audio compressor . i.e. MP3 audio compressor.

ltmmConvert_TargetFormat_DICOM

[4] DICOM video format.

ltmmConvert_TargetFormat_dvsd

[5] Standard DV audio/video format. User should not select any compressors when using this format.

ltmmConvert_targetFormat_MP3

[6] MP3 audio format. User should not select any compressors when using this format

ltmmConvert_TargetFormat_dvsd_Avi

[7] Standard DV audio/video format encapsulated in an AVI encoded stream. User should not select any compressors when using this format.

ltmmConvert_TargetFormat_WMV_Mux

[8] LEAD Windows Media Compressor / Multiplexer (replaces Microsoft WMV, can be used for in-memory conversion)

ltmmConvert_TargetFormat_Asf_Mux

[9] LEAD Windows Media Multiplexer (uses external decompressors)

ltmmConvert_TargetFormat_Still_Image

[10] LEAD Still Image format (requires the LEAD Still Image Writer filter). The Still Image Writer filter can write most raster file formats supported by LEADTOOLS. The output file can be multipage (all frames will be written in one output file) or single page (multiple output files will be created, each frame being written in an individual file). For example, the video can be saved as one TIF file, or as a sequence of JPEG files.

ltmmConvert_TargetFormat_Stream

[11] Stream format. All the samples are written in an output frame, without adding any headers. You can use this to create MPEG files with samples from capture devices that output raw MPEG data. (Ex: Some Hauppauge cards).

ltmmConvert_TargetFormat_OGG

[12] Ogg audio/video format. (Requires LEAD Ogg Multiplexer and Splitter filters). Recommended format for converting files of any media type without recompression. Use this format to convert to AVI if you experience audio/video synchronization problems.

ltmmConvert_TargetFormat_dvsd_OGG

[13] Ogg format for video only or video and audio compressed with DV compression. (Requires LEAD Ogg Multiplexer and Splitter filters.)

ltmmConvert_TargetFormat_MPEG1System

[14] MPEG-1 System format. (Requires LEAD MPEG-2 Encoder , LEAD MPEG Audio Encoder and LEAD MPEG-1 Multiplexer filters.)

ltmmConvert_TargetFormat_MPEG2_PROGRAM

[15] MPEG-2 Program format. (Requires LEAD MPEG-2 Encoder, LEAD MPEG Audio Encoder and LEAD MPEG-2Multiplexer filters.)

ltmmConvert_TargetFormat_MP3_LEAD

[16] MP3 audio format, compressed using the LEAD MP3 Audio Encoder. (Not available yet.)

ltmmConvert_TargetFormat_DVD

[17] DVD image format. (Requires the LEAD DVD Writer, LEAD MPEG-2 Encoder, LEAD MPEG Audio Encoder, and LEAD MPEG-2 Multiplexer filters.) Use this target format to compose DVD images, by creating a new DVD image or appending to an existing image. To gain access to the DVD writer object, call ltmmConvert::GetSubObject with the ObjType parameter set to ltmmConvert_Object_Sink. If the target format is ltmmConvert_TargetFormat_DVD, then the target file, set using ltmmConvert::put_TargetFile or obtained using ltmmConvert::get_TargetFile, is a folder name and not a file name. The DVD writer will create all needed files and subfolders.

ltmmConvert_TargetFormat_NET
