How can I reuse directshow components in Gstreamer (windows)

Question

I am developing a new media playback application for Digital cinema. While checking the multimedia framework options, I am pretty impressed with GStreamer and would like to use it.

BUT, we already have developed some directshow filters, which we do not intend to throw away or refactor for now. The directshow filters involve in-house developed(with source code) and also purchased(without source code).

Question: How can I reuse these components even though I switch from Directshow to Gstreamer? Ideas and pointers will be much appreciated.

Answer 1

You can develop your own plugin for GStreamer, which passes the control to your custom filters. Here is the Guide.
