Think of all the codecs and de-/multiplexers that have to be 
rewritten/wrapped, the synchronization issues between audio and video, all 
the things that you could get for free by writing a few wrappers and are very 
easy to test and get stable. (And there are already people working on C++ 
wrappers for GStreamer).

I don't want to argue against the advantages of Arts, and I don't want to stop 
anybody from doing Arts::Video. But I doubt that it is realistic to expect 
results soon. Just take a look at GStreamer and the amount of work that those 
guys already did. There are 28 developers in the SF project, and IIRC several 
people working or at least have worked full-time on GStreamer, and the 
project exists for over two years.

bye...
