We have seen some great progress so far on the GStreamer Google summer of code projects. The project I have been following the most closely as it has a direct impact on Transmageddon is Thiago Sousa Santos asfmuxing and Windows media RTP streaming project. It just hit a major milestone in the sense that Thiago commited the code he has been working on into gst-plugins-bad. The muxer works really well with Windows Media Audio and Video 1,2 and 3 (including VC1) supported and mp3 audio supported. I already added ASF support to Transmageddon based upon it and while we still have a few issues to sort out to enable remuxing support it is a really nice step forward for the GStreamer project. A big thanks to Thiago for his work so far.

Blog talking about Fedora, GNOME, GStreamer and related topics. Anything I write in this blog is me speaking as a member of the open source community, official Red Hat communication happens on Redhat.com. The comments are my own personal opinion.
Why are you doing Windows Media RTP? FFmpeg already implements it. Simply use that. Avoid this madness in code duplication.
@rbultje: with a full RTP framework in place in GStreamer for a long while adding a RTP payloader for Windows Media was a small task. Also there are many people these days shipping GStreamer not using ffmpeg and thus ffmpeg based solutions are not really helpfull.
Hot hot hot, cool new stuff.
A thing that I’d like to see in Transmageddon is to directly convert ISO images from video CDs to “real” video file formats. I know that will be a little bit tricky but I hope you can fine a nice solution for that.
