The LEADTOOLS Multimedia toolkit writes the following file formats:
- AVI (compressed with any available compressors on the user's machine)
- Mpeg1 Layer-3 Audio (MP3)
- MPEG1 System (video and audio) This requires the use of an MPEG1-compatible audio and video compressor. The LEAD MPEG Audio Encoder and LEAD MPEG2 Video Encoder can be used. (The LEAD MPEG2 Video Encoder can generate MPEG1-compatible video compression.)
- MPEG2 Program (video and audio) This requires the use of an MPEG2-compatible audio and video compressor. The LEAD MPEG Audio Encoder, LEAD AC3 Audio Encoder, LEAD MPEG2 Video Encoder, LEAD MPEG4 Video Encoder, LEAD H264 Video Encoder, and LEAD H265 Video Encoder can be used.
- MPEG2 Transport (video and audio) This requires the use of an MPEG2-compatible audio and video compressor. The LEAD MPEG Audio Encoder, LEAD AC3 Audio Encoder, LEAD MPEG2 Video Encoder, LEAD MPEG4 Video Encoder, LEAD H264 Video Encoder, and LEAD H265 Video Encoder can be used.
