Hi I am,trying to implement a recorder that will split a larger media file or a live source in to smaller chunks. First i created a pipeline to record the steam from filesrc and rtspsrc . For Implementing the file change i put a callback in the encoder element which keep on checking the size of the file created by the pipeline. When the filesize is reached the predefined size then i will put the pipeline in to GST_STATE_PAUSE. Then i move the recorded file to the destination .,after that that the state of the pipeline is set to GST_STATE_NULL. and i unref the main pipeline.Here the first video is created and after that the same pipeline is created and the video is recorded . I can Implement file change in this way..But is this the right way to Implement my idea..? Pipeline Created --->> GST_STATE_READY---->> GST_STATE_PAUSE ---->>GST_STATE_PLAYING-----{<div id=":1te">after a predefined file size splitting file } -->> GST_STATE_PAUSE--->> GST_STATE_READY-->>GST_STATE_NULL-->>unref the pipeline After this the same method is repeated to create the second chunk. Is there any better way to Implement idea...? Regards LijiN</div>
