Gstreamer is a streaming media framework, based on graphs of filters which operate on media data. applications using this library can do anything from real-time sound processing to playing videos, and just about anything else media-related. its plugin-based architecture means that new data types or processing capabilities can be added simply by installing new plug-ins.

this plugin allows demuxing of mpeg2 streams. the main difference between this and the plugin from gst-plugins-ugly is that this one allows demuxing of mpeg2 transport streams.
