Multimedia Capture
Create applications that can capture from WDM, native DirectShow including DV, Video for Windows capture devices, control DV devices, etc.
Multimedia File Formats
Add support for the most popular multimedia formats (AVI, MPEG-2, MPEG-1, ISO (MP4, 3GPP, AAC, AVC1, MOV), XVID, ASF, WMV, WAV, WMA, OGG, and more).
Create and play files based on ISO media format (MP4, 3GPP, AAC, AVC1, MOV). These files are used by most common portable media players (like iPOD, PSP, ZEN, Zune, Blackberry, etc) and the new generation of mobile phones.
Multimedia Playback
Create applications that can play all formats supported by DirectShow listed above. Get support for DVD navigation, saving player settings to files and streams, etc.
Multimedia Conversion and Compression
Add features to your application so your users can convert to and from LEAD's supported multimedia formats using any available Codecs (those listed below and any other codec installed on your system).
Web Support
The LEADTOOLS Multimedia SDK includes HTML examples for streaming Ogg H264, WMV H264 and Flash video from websites. Additionally included is a downloadable component that will guarantee that the correct decoders are installed on the client's computer before the video starts to play, eliminating the need for the client to reboot the computer before playing the video.
DirectShow Filters
LEADTOOLS Multimedia includes DirectShow compliant filters for a wide variety tasks allowing you to develop powerful and versatile multimedia applications.
Processing Filters (See the full list - Enhancements/Special Effects below)
Audio Filters
DVD Filters
Evaluation versions of these DirectShow filters are included with the LEADTOOLS Multimedia SDK. They may be used for Development, but may require additional licensing before distributing your application. Contact sales@componentsource.com for more information.
LEAD DVD Writer (included in the DVD Module) - The LEAD DVD Writer filter allows any DirectShow application to use it to create a DVD image. It is recommended to use the DVD full resolution 720X480 because not all DVD navigators can handle the conversion from a DVD to a DVD image that is less than 720X480. The LEAD DVD writer works in conjunction with the LEAD MPEG-2 Multiplexer, the LEAD MPEG-2 Encoder and the LEAD Video Resize Filter to create a compatible DVD image.
Network and Stream Filters
Evaluation versions of these DirectShow filters are included with the LEADTOOLS Multimedia SDK. They may be used for Development, but may require additional licensing before distributing your application. Contact sales@componentsource.com for more information.
LEAD MPEG-2 Transport UDP Source - The LEAD MPEG-2 Transport UDP Source is a DirectShow filter for streaming data from a UDP port. The data is usually in an MPEG-2 Transport format, as defined in ISO/IEC 13818-1. The filter is also capable of receiving MPEG-2 Transport data packetized with RTP packets conforming to RFC 1889 and RFC 1890.
LEAD Network Source (included in the Video Streaming Module) - The LEAD Network Source Filter receives stream data, sent by the LEAD Network Sink Filter, on a TCP/IP network. It serves as a file reader filter in a DirectShow filter graph. The LEAD Network Source Filter works in conjunction with LEAD Network Multiplexer, LEAD Network Sink Filter, and LEAD Network Demultiplexer to form a complete communication circle; Client-Server based.
LEAD Network Multiplexer (included in the Video Streaming Module) - The LEAD Network Multiplexer filter multiplexes media in preparation to send it over a TCP/IP network. This filter theoretically accepts any DirectShow media type. The LEAD Network Multiplexer works in conjunction with LEAD Network Demultiplexer, LEAD Network Sink Filter, and LEAD Network Source Filter to form a complete communication circle; Client-Server based.
LEAD Network Demultiplexer (included in the Video Streaming Module) - The Network Demultiplexer filter is responsible for splitting multiplexed media, output from the LEAD Network Source. It serves as a splitter filter in a DirectShow filter graph. The LEAD Network Demultiplexer works in conjunction with LEAD Network Multiplexer, LEAD Network Sink Filter, and LEAD Network Source Filter to form a complete communication circle; Client-Server based.
LEAD Network Sink (included in the Video Streaming Module) - The LEAD Network Sink filter is responsible for sending multiplexed media, output by the LEAD Network Multiplexer, over a TCP/IP network. The LEAD Network Sink Filter works in conjunction with LEAD Network Multiplexer, LEAD Network Source Filter, and LEAD Network Demultiplexer to form a complete communication circle; Client-Server based.
Multiplexers / Demultiplexers
Included Filters - The following DirectShow filters are included with the LEADTOOLS Multimedia SDK.
LEAD OGG Multiplexer - Create OGG files using the LEAD Capture or Convert modules.
Evaluation Filters - evaluation versions of these DirectShow filters are included with the LEADTOOLS Multimedia SDK. They may be used for Development, but may require additional licensing before distributing your application. Contact sales@leadtools.com for more information.
LEAD MPEG-1 Multiplexer - Create MPEG-1 files.
LEAD MPEG-2 Multiplexer - Create MPEG-2 files.
LEAD OGG Splitter - Play and convert OGG files.
LEAD ISO Demultiplexer - The LEAD ISO Demultiplexer can be used to play files based on the ISO base file format described in ISO/IEC 14496-12. The ISO base file format should not be confused with the files used to store CD images or DVD images (which have the .ISO extension). The following common file formats use the ISO base file format:
MP4 files used by Apple iPOD or Playstation Portable device (.MP4 extension)
Quicktime files (.MOV extension)
AAC audio files (.AAC extension)
3GPP files used by 3G mobile phones (.3GP extension)
AVC files (.AVC extension)
Flash HD Format (.HDP extension)
LEAD ISO Multiplexer - The LEAD ISO Multiplexer can be used to create files based on the ISO base file format described in ISO/IEC 14496-12. The ISO base file format should not be confused with the files used to store CD images or DVD images (which have the .ISO extension). The LEAD ISO Multiplexer does not support every video and audio compression. The following compressions are supported:
MPEG-4 (MPEG-4 Part 2) video compression
H.264 (MPEG-4 Part 10) video compression
AAC audio compression
(PCM) uncompressed audio
LEAD MPEG-2 Transport Demultiplexer - The LEAD MPEG2 Transport Demultiplexer is a DirectShow filter that can parse the following types of streams:
MPEG-2 Transport specified in ISO/IEC 13818-1
MPEG-2 Program specified in ISO/IEC 13818-1
MPEG-1 System specified in ISO/IEC 11172-1
Elementary stream data (also know as raw video or raw audio data)
