Comment 1 for bug 861663

So an update on this: Novacut is now ported to GStreamer 1.0, save for a few issues.

You'll need to build GStreamer from git, which I explained here:
http://jderose.blogspot.com/2012/07/how-to-run-gstreamer-uninstalled.html

And you'll need to apply my patch to gstreamer for this bug:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=680862

Which you can do with `git am 0001-the-fix.patch`.

After that, things should work quite well, and renders will be done with GStreamer 1.0.

We can't port our thumbnailer to 1.0 till this is fixed:

The other hold-up is we wont merge this to novacut trunk till we have suitable GStreamer packages available in our PPA. Even though the daily PPA is aimed at developers, we still only commit release-ready code to trunk. And that means we need all the dependencies available as we want to keep our software always easy to consume.
