FYI, the author of this package frequents #gstreamer, and is converting
the mjpeg tools to gstreamer as soon as he gets the the next release out.
The other mjpeg author (author of mpeg2enc) is also twitching to move to
gstreamer as soon as his next release is out.  He's also looking at
libcodec (codecs.org) as a base library for his next codec project, which
will be working with sampeg4 (sorry, don't have a link).

With Buck's help, GStreamer has a preliminary DV decoder plugin, and I
also wrote a dv1394 source, so we can play DV right from the camera on
fast enough machines.  There are sufficient problems with the raw1394
subsystem to cause problems though, such as no user-space DMA.
