The GStreamer Good Plug-ins is a set of plug-ins considered by the GStreamer developers to have good quality code, correct functionality, and the preferred license (LGPL for the plug-in code, LGPL or LGPL-compatible for the supporting library). A wide range of video and audio decoders, encoders, and filters are included. Also see the GStreamer Ugly Plug-ins-0.10.10, GStreamer Bad Plug-ins and GStreamer FFmpeg plug-in packages.

User Notes: http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/gst-plugins-good
Install GStreamer Good Plug-ins by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr \
--sysconfdir=/etc/gnome/2.28.1 &&
make
To run the unit regression tests, issue: make check. There are many other
Makefile targets you can specify for
running the tests, issue make -C
tests/check help to see the complete list.
Now, as the root user:
make install
If you did not rebuild the API documentation by passing
--enable-gtk-doc to the configure script and you wish to
install the pre-built documentation, issue the following command as
the root user:
make -C docs/plugins install-data
--sysconfdir=/etc/gnome/2.28.1: This
parameter is used so that the GConf configuration files are installed in the
system-wide GNOME GConf database
located in /etc/gnome/2.28.1/gconf
instead of /usr/etc. You may omit
this parameter if you don't have GConf installed.
--disable-static: This switch prevents
the static libraries from being built.
