Gavl is short for Gmerlin Audio Video Library. It is a low level
library, upon which multimedia APIs can be built. Gavl handles all
the details of audio and video formats like colorspaces, samplerates,
multichannel configurations etc. It provides standardized definitions
for those formats as well as container structures for carrying audio
samples or video images inside an application.
In addition, it handles the sometimes ugly task to convert between
all these formats and provides some elementary operations (copying,
scaling, alpha blending etc)

PiTiVi relies on the GStreamer multimedia framework and the accompanying
plugins to handle the various medias and their transformation. PiTiVi being
a novelty usage of GStreamer, there are some problems with plugins not
handling completely/correctly the GStreamer API. These problems are in
the process of being corrected.
This means that it is not guaranteed that all codecs, containers or effects
work properly with PiTiVi.
gst-python provides a convenient wrapper for the GStreamer library for
use in Python programs, and takes care of many of the boring details
such as managing memory and type casting.
Like the GTK library itself gst-python is licensed under the GNU LGPL, so is
suitable for use in both free software and proprietary applications. It
is already in use in many applications ranging from small single purpose
scripts up to large full features applications.
