Try out the below: gst-launch-0.10 videotestsrc is-live=true num-buffers=100 ! 'video/x-raw-yuv,format=(fourcc)I420,width=640,height=480,framerate=(fraction)25/1' ! x264enc ! queue ! mux. avimux name=mux ! filesink location=testV3.avi When you are recording from live pipelines and you stop gst-launch with ctrl+c, it simply shuts the pipeline down, no EOS is sent. Some muxers need to send data after they receive EOS to finish the file properly, if no EOS is received the file ends up in an unconsistent state. <div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, May 6, 2009 at 12:51 PM, ldac <<a href="mailto:ldacvs@gmail.com" target="_blank">ldacvs@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <div bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#000000"> Hi and thank you yangsb, but even removing the element 'h264parse' the problem is still happening. gst-launch-0.10 videotestsrc is-live=true !
