<div dir="ltr">One reason is that the msvc build probably supports a number of plugins through MediaFoundation, for example:  <a href="http://gstreamer-devel.966125.n4.nabble.com/Hardware-acceleration-on-Windows-10-td4695247.html">http://gstreamer-devel.966125.n4.nabble.com/Hardware-acceleration-on-Windows-10-td4695247.html</a>  I am not sure whether the mingw build supports those same plugins, I would guess not.  But if it does support those plugins, there are a number of C Runtime compatibility issues that might bite you once in a while.  (These issues are notoriously difficult to diagnose.)<div><br>In regards to C Runtime compatibility issues:  If you are building an application that consumes the gstreamer libraries, and your application is compiled with msvc; then you definitely want the msvc libraries.  But if you are building your application with mingw then take the mingw Gstreamer libraries (but checkout the toolchain version first).<br><br></div><div>Also, historically Gstreamer for Windows was only built using mingw because of widespread dependencies on Linux build tools (e.g. Autotools).  I think the mingw build was done because they couldn't get it working with msvc until recently.  (It took a lot of work to get the msvc build working.)<br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Sep 2, 2020 at 9:32 AM Davide Perini <<a href="mailto:perini.davide@dpsoftware.org">perini.davide@dpsoftware.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

          guys,<br>
          does GStreamer 1.18 brings some performance improvements or

          <br>

          Is is better to use the mingv or the visual studio code
