Multimedia Filters and Codecs Licensing - General

LEADTOOLS Multimedia SDK is distributed with a variety of DirectShow Ò filters, video codecs and audio codecs that may be used for manipulating and compressing audio or video data. Certain filters and codecs may be included with your end user application and be distributed on a royalty-free basis in accordance with the license agreement governing LEADTOOLS Multimedia SDK. Release versions of these filters and codecs are included with the LEADTOOLS Multimedia setup.
