Yeah, saw it. Nothing new, those public binaries are available for long time ago. And as Felipe points they are missing h264 encoder. Plus MP4 encoder supports up to WVGA resolution. And are crap compared to stock n900 binaries. Maybe I missed the point but those are of no use.

Anyway, we don't need to redistribute codec binaries, it is pretty enough Nokia to distribute them in a way n900 apt to be able to access them without need to enable harmattan repo. Dedicated repo should be enough. Or something like that.

For gst-dsp from google.code - yeah, it works most of the time. But not always. And one of the major differences between harmattan gst-dsp and that on google.code is that in harmattan one codec binary to be loaded in DSP is selected based on video profile, not only on video fourcc. And it has never been tested with h264 encoder as such is missing in public binaries, so no videocall.

Anyway, it is a great success to have the author on the bugtracker. Seems my old account don't work there, so I will make a new one and will try to add some additional comments on the bug.

Big thanks again for your efforts.
