[gst-devel] gst-launch and AVI file with only good plugins

[Vinay Reddy]

Also, some of the documentation seems to suggest that windec (a way to
link to windows dlls for decoding), has moved to the good plugins. Is
there a way to use this for decoding (and maybe displaying the video)
on windows?

Thanks,
Vinay
