Gstreamer
|
|
|
|
<!-- ##### SECTION Short_Description ##### -->
|
|
Media library supporting arbitrary formats and filter graphs.

<!-- ##### SECTION Long_Description ##### -->

|
<para>
|
|
GStreamer is a framework for constructing graphs of various filters
|
|
(termed elements here) that will handle streaming media. Any discreet
|
|
(packetizable) media type is supported, with provisions for automatically
|
|
determining source type. Metadata can be passed with all data to provide
|
|
formatting/framing information. Plugins are heavily used to provide for
|
|
all elements, allowing one to construct plugins outside of the GST
|
|
library, even released binary-only if license require (please don't).

<para>
|
|
GStreamer borrows heavily from both the <ulink
|
|
url="http://www.cse.ogi.edu/sysl/">OGI media pipeline</ulink> and
|
|
Microsoft's DirectShow, hopefully taking the best of both and leaving the
|
|
cruft behind. Its interface is still very fluid (I've redesigned the
|
|
metadata handling twice already), and thus can be changed to increase the
|
|
sanity/noise ratio.
