Success. After a bit of experimenting I've gotten h.264 working at |

the quirksmode website, and on Youtube. Pale Moon browser requires... |

|
| 15 |
gstreamer |
| 16 |
gst-plugins-base |
| 17 |
gst-plugins-good |
| 18 |
gst-plugins-ffmpeg |
| 19 |
|

A confusing item is that gst-plugins-base and gst-plugins-good are in |
| 21 |
media-libs/ but gst-plugins-ffmpeg and 77 others are in media-plugins/ |

Nothing on my system requires 1.X and I prefer a lean system. |
