GStreamer announcements

Submitted by Uraeus on Thu, 2005-01-06 06:01. GStreamer

The GStreamer team has made three new releases recently in the ongoing quest to provide high quality playback support. GStreamer Core 0.8.8, GStreamer ffmpeg 0.8.3 and GStreamer plugins 0.8.7. All these 3 releases contain significant playback related bugfixes and additions. For instance one thing that got missed in the plugins release notes is that we know have a MMS protocol plugin which means you can view wva/wmv (not wm9) streams using GStreamer and Totem. But be sure to read more as this is not all :)

Ronald Bultje also made the first release of his GStreamer video recorder Cupid which is an application which lets you record from v4l devices to various video formats and codecs. Be sure to check it out.

Another nice little appliation is Lars Wirzenius's Sound Converter which gives you an easy to use GUI for transcoding your audio files.

For those of you needing something to look forward to for the next release of GStreamer Benjamin Otte just commited a puzzle game filter to CVS. This means that with an upcoming release of totem and GStreamer you can play puzzle games with live video images :)

And as always we request that those who try out our latest releases report back with audio and video files that do not work. But do make sure to either provide a link to the file in question or attach it to the bug report. Without the file to reproduce its next to impossible to debug the issue.
