LEAD H264 Decoder (3.0)

The LEAD H264 Decoder is a DirectShow decoder that can decompress video compressed by any H264 codec A COmpressor combined with a DECompressor, or encoder Also known as compressor, this is a module or algorithm to compress data. Playing that data back requires a decompressor, or decoder. and a decoder, which allows you to both compress and decompress that same data.. Note that there are two DirectShow encoders and only one DirectShow decoder because the DirectShow decoder can decode data encoded by any codec. The DirectShow decoder is preferred over the DirectX Media Object (DMO) decoder when playing H264 video from AVI, Ogg or any non-ASF format in both Media Player and other DirectShow-based players.

The DirectShow decoder is capable of playing H264 video from ASF files in players built with LEADTOOLS or DirectShow. Windows Media Player will NOT use a DirectShow decoder to play ASF files. It will insist on using DMO or VFW decoders to play ASF files. Media Player will, however, use DirectShow decoders to play AVI or Ogg files.
