Hi, i am trying to record from a panasoni camera,.the sequence of pipeline elements in program is, gnomevfssrc ! decodebin ! queue ! ffenc_mpeg4 ! capsfilter ! avimux ! filesik i setted up the framerate to 12 using capsfilter,(because this is the fps that should work with out any pbm in rtsp recording).But here when i start the recording i got some messages like , 0:00:03.074106552 11649 0x9d50e90 ERROR ffmpeg :0:: Error, Invalid timestamp=15, last=15 0:00:03.074210484 11649 0x9d50e90 ERROR ffmpeg gstffmpegenc.c:657:gst_ffmpegenc_chain_video:<videoencoder> ffenc_mpeg4: failed to encode buffer and when i tried to stop the recording , i got the messages like, mpeg4 @ 0xa60bec0]hmm, seems the headers are not complete, trying to guess time_increment_bits [mpeg4 @ 0xa60bec0]my guess is 2 bits ;) [mpeg4 @ 0xa60bec0]Error, header damaged or not MPEG4 header (qscale=0) Last message repeated 1 times [mpeg4 @ 0xa60bec0]header damaged Error while decoding stream #0.0 [mpeg4 @ 0xa60bec0]Error, header damaged or not MPEG4 header (qscale=0) Last message repeated 1 times [mpeg4 @ 0xa60bec0]header damaged Error while decoding stream #0.0 BUT THE VIDEO IS RECORDED,,,IT HAS TOO MUCH OF SCRATCHES.WHEN I CHANGED THE FRAME RATE TO 17 THERE IS NO SCRATCH,BUT THE VIDEO IS MOVING TOO FAST!!! THE CAMERA SENDS THE DATA IN MJPEG FORMAT. -- Sreerenj B <a href="http://sreerenj.livejournal.com">http://sreerenj.livejournal.com</a> <a href="mailto:bsreerenj@gmail.com">bsreerenj@gmail.com</a> mob: +91 9995377714
