What sorts of plugins are available for gstreamer? 93MB of plugins is very encouraging

Video encoding was the last major thing that keeps me from putting linux on my computer, mostly because of the lack (that I know of) of (good?) plugins, not because of the lack of encoding tools. I also wonder how most of these plugins compare to avisynth's plugins. If avisynth were ported to *nix, that would be a major step in making *nix a major player in the (amateur?) video world.

did you tried menvcd? its just a script based on mencoder an can encode (s)vcds with mencoder.
I'm glad there's an (s)vcd tool as well, I'm starting to get into svcds and didn't know if there was a good tool for it.
