LEAD MCMW Video Codec

The MCMW Codec is designed to create high-quality video using low bandwidth (dial-up) delivery. This is achieved by using a state of the art intraframe wavelet based compression technique that provides superior compression performance, while still ensuring optimal quality at any compression level. This makes the MCMW Codec an ideal candidate for video editing, video conferencing, remote monitoring and video storage.

LEAD's MCMW Video Codec is a wavelet based multimedia compressor/decompressor that registers into the Windows® collection of multimedia drivers and integrates with any application using DirectShow. Existing video software, such as Windows® Media Player® and Ulead Media Studio®, can utilize this codec to play, create and edit LEAD's proprietary MCMW files. Developed by LEAD as an alternative to standard compression algorithms, MCMW delivers smaller file sizes and can maintain better video quality than any standard compression.
