Work is pending on video codec plugins. Hopefully we will be able to make an announcment soon. As for using gstreamer, there are two problems: - Gstreamer is LGPL. This would have to be resolved with the MPL used by the OpenH323 and PWLIB libraries that will implement the plugins - Implementing the codecs is only half the problem. Implementing the RTP transport and capability definitions for each codec is non trivial.
