Actually, I didn't notice this, but there are a few things that have to be done to make the packages work together (it's not as simple as just enabling them). Can you tell me what an SR is? The wiki just says contact the mailing list if you want to add packages ... which is what I did. > Also notice https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=596006.

I also added some other pieces, but that's mainly to get the package dependencies to work correctly. I concur on the H.264 quality issue. I also see a 3s time lag between the video and audio. I think it is some bitrate issue, but I can't currently find it (x264 documentation is a bit lacking). H.263 and MPEG4 work nicely. I have an objective of getting H.264 working, since that's what most video conference systems use.
