Could you give more details on the video/audio codec?
Also what is the target platform of you application? Linux ? Windows? Mac?
If you need to add a new codec to GStreamer, I would expect the codec to
be added at the GStreamer level. Therefore this is a GStreamer question
rather than a Phonon question.
I suggest having a look at the GStreamer site:
http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/
It reads:
Developers can add new codecs and filters by writing
a simple plugin with a clean, generic interface.
You may be interested in the "Plugin Writer's Guide".

You could of course add your own back-end, but that's probably too much
work and probably not needed in this case.

i am creating my own media player with Qt4.4, i am using phonon with
Gstreamer as its backend. the problem is that i want my app(mediaplayer)
to use my own set of(video and audio decoder) with avi container format,
is it possible with phonon?
Or else i have to write my own phonon backend for that?
if so, how long it will take to create a phonon backend , also where to
start if i want to create a phonon backend.
