LEAD's Video Codec is a multimedia compressor/decompressor which registers into the Windows™ collection of multimedia drivers and integrates with any application using DirectShow and Microsoft Video for Windows™. Existing video software, such as Windows™ Media Player®, Adobe Premiere®, and Ulead Media Studio®, can utilize this codec to play, create and edit industry standard MJPEG and LEAD's proprietary MCMP files. Developed by LEAD as an alternative to standard compression algorithms, MCMP delivers smaller file sizes and can maintain better image quality than MJPEG with the same or better image quality.
