[gst-devel] How to use Gstreamer framework for hardware based video decoder ?

simply put:

Create an element with the caps as in a software encoder; rip out the
library call and replace it by copying the buffer to your hardware
driver after you've done your buffer alignment if required by your
hardware; the resulting encoded data is handled the same and sent out.

I don't see a real difference between a hardware and software encoder;
they both end up making a call to somewhere else (hardware or software
library).

This is clearly another case of too many mad scientists, and not enough
hunchbacks.
