In 0.10 the package was called gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg, in 1.x it's called
gstreamer1.0-libav - same thing though.

In 0.10 the elements were named ffdec_*, ffenc_* etc. in 1.x the
elements are named avdec_* etc., so it's avdec_h264 now. You also need
to use 'videoconvert' instead of 'ffmpegcolorspace'.
