Thanks Sanjay</pre> </blockquote> Nope, there isnt. Actually, porting gstreamer is part of our plan to create a nice, x-platform video editing tool. The purpose of this video editor, we didnt make big secret about this, is to make sure that matroska container is an option for the users, amongst other more well known containers ( MPEG, MP4, AVI, etc. ) we are planning to support from it. I dont know if this is a reason to be ashamed about, but i hope everybody understands that we are primarily working to help our project with this, as we know a missing editor is currently the biggest obstacle for people to use MP4 more frequently, and many still stick to AVI because of that. It has always been our preferred method to invite other developers with similar goals to join the project, we did the same with matroska that time when the specs were about to be freezed ( of course, without reactions from any side as you may know ;-) ). So i made an announcement on Hydrogenaudio.org and Doom9.org, the biggest video and audio communities in the internet we know of. Reactions from people were quite astonishing for us, some didnt like our preferred license, others told us to shut up and stop advertising 'unfinished vapourware' and the like. The author of a pretty well know video editor for Windows ( normally a very polite guy ) even told me in a private message to  'Shut up and code' , adding that he thinks we have no idea what we are trying to do here, and that this is anyhow beyond the capabilities of the matroska team. Because of all this very nice reactions ( well, some were *really* friendly ), we more or less decided to make development of this in the background, without big announcements on the homepage or the like. I hope this is somewhat understandable now. If you have things you liked to discuss with robux4, the chief developer behind the porting, i recommend to meet him on IRC, either #gstreamer or #matroska on irc.corecodec.com . BTW, robx4 decided to use the gstreamer CVS for his patches, but dont ask me about detials. Looking forward to talk to you, one way or another.

Afaik those are native ports using MSVC and they look quite nice. But you should ask the people doing that on how it works exactly.
