How To Install gstreamer1.0-libav on Ubuntu 20.04
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install gstreamer1.0-libav on Ubuntu 20.04.
What is gstreamer1.0-libav
gstreamer1.0-libav is:
This GStreamer plugin supports a large number of audio and video compression formats through the use of the ffmpeg library. The plugin contains GStreamer elements for encoding 40+ formats (MPEG, DivX, MPEG4, AC3, DV, …), decoding elements for decoding 90+ formats (AVI, MPEG, OGG, Matroska, ASF, …), demuxing 30+ formats and colorspace conversion.
