Dicom Media Bridge is a dicom codec for Windows that allows multimedia applications to read and display multiframe or single-frame Dicom files.

It is ideal to view the Dicom thumbnail i the file explorer, or to convert a Dicom file into an AVI, DIVX or other media file. 

With Dicom Media Bridge you can:

  • View your Dicom files with your preferred media player, such as Windows Media Player™ or Divx Player™

  • Transform your Dicom files into Windows Media Video files (WMV) or RealVideo (RV) with the free applications Windows Media Encoder™ or RealProducer™

  • Prepare nice presentations using Windows Movie Maker™ or other Video Editing applications

  • View thumbnail previews of the Dicom files in your folders (only for the files that have the dcm, dic or dicom extension)

  • Display the main Dicom tags directly in the files explorer (feature disabled on Windows Vista)
  • Copy the Dicom images into your preferred application directly from the files explorer  (feature disabled on Windows Vista)

Dicom Media Bridge can read Dicom 3 files and NEMA files.
The images embedded into the Dicom files can have one of the following formats:

  • Uncompressed
  • RLE compressed
  • Jpeg lossless (up to 16 bits per color channel)
  • Jpeg lossy (up to 12 bits per color channel)

Divx Player

Dicom Media Bridge fits the Dicom images into a rectangle with the width/height ratio of 4/3, so they will not be stretched by applications that can deal only with video samples (e.g.: Windows Movie Maker).

High resolution images are scaled down to a maximum resolution of 768 by 576 pixels, to avoid artifacts introduced by DirectShow when the video samples’ size exceedes the size of the memory installed in the video card.
