LEADTOOLS can be used in the following two ways to stream Windows Media streams having video compressed with the H264 encoder:

  1. Push video using the LEAD MMS Sink filter  to the Windows Media Server and encode the video using the DirectShow® LEAD H264 Encoder (4.0)

  2. Compress the video using the Windows Media Encoder and the LEAD H264 Encoder (DMO) (4.0)

For more information on how to push video with the LEAD MMS Sink filter, see   Using the LEAD MMS Sink Filter.. Note that you can push video using Windows Media compressors with the LEAD MMS Sink filter. You still get the benefits of greater control over the compression process as described above.
