Product Description

M Lab MPEG-2 Decoder 3.6 software package is Microsoft DirectShow-compliant components for real-time decoding high quality, full resolution MPEG-2 on Microsoft Windows based PC. All the components can be invoked automatically by Windows Media Player, or seamlessly integrated into DirectShow filter graph based application through DirectShow COM Interface.

DXVA enabled M Lab MPEG-2 Decoder is the most CPU efficient, high-performance decoder with superior picture quality and broadest format support in the software MPEG-2 decoder market. In addition to the standard features, it also incorporates many exclusive features such as Auto Adoptive De-interlace, SSE2 Optimized Double Precision IDCT, Color Control, De-blocking process and etc.
 

Standard Features

  1. Software only real-time MPEG-2 (bit-rate up to 80 Mbps) playback without special hardware;
  2. DXVA hardware acceleration support: providing significant performance gain;
  3. Microsoft DirectShow compliance: providing the standard way to integrate into the application or being invoked automatically by Windows Media Player.
  4. High definition video playback/decoding;
  5. Non-square pixel aspect ratio display: 4:3 for narrow screen and 16:9 for wide screen;
  6. Frame accuracy seeking;
  7. 2:3 pull-down: the technique used to convert 24 pictures/s movies to 30 frame/s video. It is widely used in DVD video content.
     

Exclusive Feature

  1. Auto adoptive de-interlace algorithm: analyzing individual frame to choose the best de-interlace algorithm to provide the smooth image without losing the sharpness.
  2. Line21 output: providing the closed caption data for video application, i.e. DVD, HDTV;
  3. Color control for brightness, contrast, color saturation and color degree;
  4. De-blocking process: eliminate the edge artifacts;
  5. SSE2 optimized full resolution double precision IDCT: for verifying the reference IDCT algorithm.
  6. COM interface accessible for OEM developer for fine control.
