Following discussion in https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-plugins-bad/-/merge_requests/1396#note_556068 While it is technically possible to store multiple closed caption metas in the same buffer, we don't currently do that anywhere and for H264/MPEG2 both parts have to be stored in the same packet, and also the number of CC bytes you can store per frame is rather limited. This restriction might be relaxed later once we figured out how to do it without breaking things. Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-libav/-/merge_requests/82> |

gst-libav
This module contains a GStreamer plugin for using the encoders, decoders, muxers, and demuxers provided by FFmpeg. It is called gst-libav for historical reasons.
Plugin Dependencies and Licenses
GStreamer is developed under the terms of the LGPL-2.1 (see COPYING file for details), and that includes the code in this repository.
However, this repository depends on FFmpeg, which can be built in the following
modes using various ./configure switches: LGPL-2.1, LGPL-3, GPL, or non-free.
This can mean, for example, that if you are distributing an application which has a non-GPL compatible license (like a closed-source application) with GStreamer, you have to make sure not to build FFmpeg with GPL code enabled.
Overall, when using plugins that link to GPL libraries, GStreamer is for all practical reasons under the GPL itself.
The above recommendations are not legal advice, and you are responsible for ensuring that you meet your licensing obligations.
