29 A collection of plugins you'd want to have right next to you on the

41 This module contains a set of plugins that we consider to have good quality
42 code, correct functionality, our preferred license (LGPL for the plugin
43 code, LGPL or LGPL-compatible for the supporting library).
44 We believe distributors can safely ship these plugins.
45 People writing elements should base their code on these elements.
48 Other modules containing plugins are:
52 contains a basic set of well-supported plugins

61 contains a set of codecs plugins based on libav (formerly gst-ffmpeg)
