    <para>
      The <application>GStreamer Good Plug-ins</application> is a set of
      plug-ins considered by the <application>GStreamer</application> developers
      to have good quality code, correct functionality, and the preferred
      license (LGPL for the plug-in code, LGPL or LGPL-compatible for the
      supporting library). A wide range of video and audio decoders, encoders,
      and filters are included. Also see the <xref linkend="gst-plugins-ugly"/>,
      <xref linkend="gst-plugins-bad"/>  and <xref linkend="gst-ffmpeg"/>
