Summary: xvid plugin heavily underused?
Product: GStreamer
Version: 0.10.x

OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: Normal

GNOME version: Unspecified
GNOME milestone: Unspecified
As I was looking at implementing preset profiles for the ffmpeg mpeg4 encoder I
was pointed to some code which mentioned that the profile information was taken
from xvid. While the xvid decoder and encoder defaults to 'Unrestricted' format
which essentially creates a 'xvid' file they also support normal MPEG4 (and
probably DivX) files too.
I will test various things against the decoder so we can see how its caps
should be expanded.
As for the encoder. If we set stuff like the profile property we can get it to
output stuff like MPEG4 part 2 Simple Profile compliant files. So the encoder
should also get caps for stuff like video/mpeg,mpegversion=4
Tim also mentioned on IRC that the plugin code is probably causing this plugin
to be rather unstable. Which is a shame because in some respects this does seem
like a better featured decoder/encoder than the ffmpeg one, at least they did
the job of letting you set the profiles here :)
