[gst-devel] decoding H.264 using an hardware codec

You have to write a plugin that at least properly setup the hardware,
load the H264
data on the HW decoder and extract the decoded stream from the HW.

Then the plugin has to be insert in a pipeline.

For example

gst-launch filesrc location=myfile.avi ! avidemux !
my_hw_decoder_plugin ! videosink

To write your plugin you must know how to use the hardware...
If you're lucky you may find someone that is working on the same component.
