[gst-devel] problem playing h.264 file

Hi Carlos,

	to play this file, you need to put h264parse element before decoder
(this element is in plugins bad)

gst-launch filesrc location=test.264 ! h264parse ! ffdec_h264 !

	put avidemux before decoder.

gst-launch filesrc location=test.264 ! avidemux ! ffdec_h264 !

However, the best way to test files is using decodebin or playbin.
gst-launch filesrc location=test.264 ! decodebin ! ffmpegcolorspace !
