> I've been thinking (waits for the applause to die down). DirectShow is > similar in style and architecture to GStreamer right? They both use > graphs of connected elements. Would it be possible to use GStreamer to > implement Quartz? i had the same idea, while looking xine code ;) > Pros: > * Saves potentially a lot of work, depending on how big DirectShow is. > * GStreamer is written in C, under the LGPL (though licenses of codecs > vary) > * Get lots of codecs for free. And better, we can add a wine->gstreamer plugin who can use windows codecs (using wine infra to use it) mplayer have already a code for that using a little of wine code. > Cons: > * Are they too different? Would it be like trying to map comctrl onto > Tk? i don't think, but gstreamer isn't complete as dshow yet ;( > * Adds an extra dependancy on GStreamer. Still, all distros with > gnome2.2 (ie all of them) ship with it on the CDs. we can easily "dlopen" it on run-time. The problem is: can gstreamer work on all unix platforms ? > * I don't know what I'm talking about, so I could be being dumb. lol maybe ;) > Thoughts?
