[gst-devel] Video capture src for windows. Element not being registered?

[Joni Valtanen]

Are you testing it with 64-bit windows? My guess is based on registry 
name. Is it possible to run gst in 64-bit win?

dscapture library is developed and tested with 32-bit. So there should be 
problems with 64-bit windows.

I have copied all plugins in the same directory and added GST_PLUGIN_PATH 
environment variable to point there. There is possibility to pass 
--gst-plugin-path=path_to_plugins to the program from commandline. I 
haven't tested this with inpect or launch.

Sometimes in windows I have had to remove whole registry file because it 
has gone broken.

Anyway tell your experiences to me..  ..and pathes are welcome too.
