[gst-devel] ffenc_h264 plug-in ???

[Francesco Argese]

In order to have that plugin you have to install Gst-ffmpeg
(http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/modules/gst-ffmpeg.html). For this
reason it is better if you install gstreamer and all the necessary
plugins from source in orer to have more control on the plugins
intalled.

As written from Colin Guthrie, in some Linux distribution these
plugins aren't packetized so you are obliged to install from source (I
don't know if Mandriva is one of that).

Installing from source those versions I have ffenc_h263 together to
other useful patented codec such as mpeg4 and others.

Hovewer, if you are working on a raw video created by you (for example
captured from  camera), you could use theora to encode the video (the
name of the GstElement to do that is theoraenc), vorbis to encode
music and speex to encode voice. They work well and, probably, you
have it already installed.
