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-0.10.4, 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/2.14.3 &&
make
To test the results, 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/2.14.3: This parameter is used so that the GConf configuration files are installed in the system-wide GNOME GConf database located in /etc/gnome/2.14.3/gconf instead of /usr/etc. You may omit this parameter if you don't have GConf installed.
