LEAD MCMP/MJPEG Video Codec
Because of LEAD MCMP/MJPEG's real time compression and decompression, random access to every frame, support of creating a losslessly compressed stream, this codec is flexible enough to meet the requirements of a wide range of applications.
Offering standard and proprietary compression options, LEAD's MCMP / MJPEG Video Codec is a multimedia compressor / decompressor that 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 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.

What is MJPEG?
Motion
JPEG, or MJPEG, is a video adaptation of the JPEG standard for still photos.
It simply treats a video stream as a series of still photos, compressing
each individually, with no interframe compression. Because it uses no
interframe compression, it is ideal for editing.
What is MCMP?
MCMP, or Motion CMP, is a video adaptation of LEAD's
proprietary CMP compression code. MCMP delivers smaller file sizes and can
maintain better image quality than MJPEG with the same or better image
quality.
