# gb.media

This component is a simplified interface to the GStreamer library.

It allows to play, convert, transform... multimedia data from any source to any format by linking plugins together.

It works by creating a graph of MediaControl linked together that will process some video or sound data.

Each MediaControl has a Type and Inputs/Outputs that allows to link it to other MediaControl. The data flows from MediaControl through their outputs to other MediaControls through their inputs.

MediaControl are linked with the LinkTo and LinkLaterTo methods.

A MediaControl is actually the Gambas name of a GStreamer element. So read the GStreamer documentation to learn how to deal with GStreamer!
