Release notes for GStreamer FFmpeg 0.8.3 "Tiny Piece of Plastic"

The GStreamer team is happy to announce a new stable release of the FFmpeg-based GStreamer plugin.

This module is separated from GStreamer Plug-ins for easier maintenance and decoupled release cycles. Our CVS contains both the patched source code to FFmpeg, as well as the set of patches against upstream CVS, so we can send patches upstream regularly from our modifications.

Features of this release

  • codecs for most popular formats
  • optimized colorspace conversion
  • stability and synchronization fixes
