3. Install the most recent [GStreamer](https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/pkg/windows/) MSVC development package following [these instructions](https://github.com/sdroege/gstreamer-rs#gstreamer-binaries-1).

You need to download the two `.msi` files for your platform from the [GStreamer](https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/pkg/windows/) website and install them.

Note that the MinGW binaries will not work, so make sure that you install the MSVC the ones.
