Recording to QT format

[Ian Davidson]

You may have noticed a few posts from me recently regarding recording to 
AVI format.  From my perspective, the important part of the process is 
to get the information _recorded_ so that I can edit the recorded 
material and write to a DVD - so it does not have to be AVI.  I would be 
happy with OGG or MPEG so long as I can carry the file to another 
machine and edit it.

I have successfully made a recording using
gst-launch-1.0 -e v4l2src norm=PAL ! 
'video/x-raw,format=(string)I420,width=320,height=240,framerate=(fraction)25/1' 
! queue ! mux. alsasrc num-buffers=440 ! audioconvert ! 
'audio/x-raw,rate=44100,channels=2' ! queue ! mux. avimux name=mux ! 
filesink location=test.avi
- although I have not attempted to verify that the audio is in sync with 
the video.

I then tried to change from AVI to QT using
gst-launch-1.0 -e v4l2src norm=PAL ! 
'video/x-raw,format=(string)I420,width=320,height=240,framerate=(fraction)25/1' 
! videoconvert ! queue ! mux. alsasrc num-buffers=440 ! audioconvert ! 
'audio/x-raw,rate=44100,channels=2' ! queue ! mux. qtmux name=mux ! 
filesink location=test.mov
- but when I play the video, I do not hear any audio.

I have inspected qtmux to verify that it can take an audio input. 
(Check). So what have I done wrong to lose the audio?

Would I be better to choose OGG or MPEG?  I am thinking that the 
multifilesink would be a useful thing to use.

I have attempted to use oggmux as in the following command
gst-launch-1.0 -e v4l2src norm=PAL ! 
'video/x-raw,format=(string)I420,width=320,height=240,framerate=(fraction)25/1' 
! videoconvert ! queue ! mux. alsasrc num-buffers=440 ! audioconvert ! 
'audio/x-raw,rate=44100,channels=2' ! queue ! mux. oggmux name=mux ! 
filesink location=test.ogg
- but it fails to link mux to the (video) queue.

Your help, as ever, is appreciated.
