In order to get the full set of plugins you need to install all the
relevant libraries and library headers. If you're on Linux the package
you need to install might be called e.g. libx264-dev or x264-devel.
After that run ./autogen.sh again (or just ./configure).

If you're on debian or ubuntu something like this should get you a good
selection of required libs:

 $ sudo apt-get build-dep libgstreamer1.0-0 \
   gstreamer1.0-plugins-base gstreamer1.0-plugins-good \
   gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad

 Cheers
