About:
GStreamer is a pipeline-based multimedia framework that links together a wide variety of media processing systems. It provides a framework for writing applications that handle audio and video streams with low latency. This development package includes the core libraries and headers necessary for building applications that utilize the GStreamer framework.
Key Features:
  • Pipeline-based architecture for flexible media processing
  • Support for a vast array of audio and video codecs
  • Cross-platform compatibility (Linux, macOS, Windows)
  • Plugin-based system for extensibility
Use Cases:
  • Building custom media players and editors
  • Developing real-time audio/video streaming applications
  • Creating automated media transcoding workflows
Alternatives:
  • FFmpeg – FFmpeg is primarily a command-line tool and library suite, whereas GStreamer offers a more structured pipeline-based API for application development.
  • OpenCV – OpenCV focuses on computer vision, while GStreamer is a broader multimedia framework handling both audio and video transport and processing.
