Gstreamer HD Supported Codecs

[Ash-25]

Is there a way to find out all HD formats supported by gstreamer plugins? Such as WMV-HD or h264-Hd. 720p and 1080p? I've been trying to search but can't find anything useful. For example the wmv plugin from ffmpeg-gstreamer supports 1080 content but theres no way of knowing as far as i know until you try to play a 1080 file.

Codecs rarely care about the size of their input (except for often
requiring the input sizes to be multiples of two).  If ffmpeg can decode
320x240 wmv, it can decode 2048x2048 wmv, too.

The decoder might not be fast enough to decode 1080p content in
real-time, but that's a limitation of the system you are using it on,
not the decoder itself.  It's also difficult to work out without trying
to decode; some streams using identical codecs are more CPU intensive
than others.

Is there a way to see all gstreamer plugins/codecs available out there? I seem to have a hard time to find one if it is not in my package manager's source repositories.

But these are only the ones in the good/bad/ugly packages. What about other ones out there, like pitfdll or ffmpeg-gstreamer?
