LEAD's MPEG-2 video codec is a 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 industry standard (ISO/IEC 13818-2) MPEG-2 streams.

What is MPEG-2?

MPEG-2 is a high quality video compression and is primarily targeted for applications that require higher bitrates or high bandwidth usage, most commonly DVD videos, Super VCD (SVCD), box top DVR's and digital television.

What does Encoder and Decoder mean?

A codec can consist of two components, an encoder and a decoder. The encoder performs the compression function and the decoder performs the decompression function.
