Enabling local media playback and multimedia redirection for IGEL Thin Clients was our main objective, and we were looking for a solution that would allow us to provide business clients access to server-based computing and virtual desktops. To satisfy our codec needs, the Major Virtualization vendors recommended Fluendo as a provider of the required codecs, so we contacted them to learn about their GStreamer codec plugins. The provided Fluendo codecs could be integrated into our development without any problem. Thanks to Fluendo, IGEL can offer its clients a full PC-like experience.

GStreamer is an open-source multimedia framework mainly used to create media applications. The GStreamer framework is designed to make it easy to write applications that handle audio, video, or both. It uses plugins providing codecs and other functionalities.
Codec is a portmanteau of coder-decoder. It is a device or computer program for encoding or decoding a digital data stream or signal. A codec encodes this information for transmission and storage — possibly in encrypted form — while the decoder function reverses the encoding for playback or editing. Codecs are used in videoconferencing, streaming media, and video editing applications.
Multimedia files (movies or music, for example) are huge, so they are usually difficult to transfer over the network. To speed up downloads, codecs were built to encode, or shrink, a signal for transmission and then decode it for viewing or editing. Without codecs, video and audio downloads would take three to five times longer than they do now.
There’s wide extended confusion when customers/end users ask for particular codecs. Most refer to containers formats instead of audio and video codecs.
A container or wrapper format is a metafile format whose specification describes how different elements of data and metadata coexist in a computer file. Containers “contain” the various components of a video: the stream of images, the sound, and anything else. They’re easy to distinguish because they determine the extension of your video file. For example, if the container format allows you to have multiple soundtracks and subtitles in a video file. Popular container formats include MP4 (.mp4), AVI (.avi), QuickTime (.mov), and Matroska (.mkv). According to the previous explanation, we have the following:
The container formats have different strengths and weaknesses, with certain formats preferred by certain content providers. Not all containers support all compression standards or allow for secondary features like subtitles and chapters. The container itself doesn’t affect the video quality, but it can limit the compression codecs available.
If you’re choosing a container format for an encoded video, you’ll want to pick one with the right mix of supported compression codecs and features.
