The LEAD H264 Decoder (DMO) is a DirectX Media Object decoder that can decompress video compressed by any H264 codec. Note that there are four DMO encoders and only one DMO decoder because the DMO decoder can decode data encoded by any codec. This DMO decoder is required to play Windows Media files (a.k.a. WMV files) containing H264 video in Windows Media Player.
Most other DirectShow-based players will play WMV files with H264 video using the DirectShow® version of the H264 decoder (LEAD H264 Decoder Filter). Players built with LEADTOOLS Multimedia toolkit will play WMV files containing H264 video using the LEAD H264 Decoder Filter.
This decoder is typically used to play streaming video files created with LEADTOOLS Video on Demand solutions.
