Hello,<br><br>First, I'm new to gstreamer and video manipulation and file formats in general, therefore forgive me if what I ask is obvious :) <br><br>I would like to timestamp a video file sort of like how the timeoverlay and clockoverlay elements do. However, I would like the time to begin from the time the file was recorded. I'm using MythTV to record video and upon recording I would like the file (or a clip) to be transcoded with the timestamp - am open to having the final recording in any of the popular container formats. My questions:<br>
<br>- Is there a way for me to overlay a user defined time? Can I somehow manipulate the buffer or using some means introduce a time into the stream using the timeoverlay/clockoverlay elements?<br>- Can I somehow introduce a timestamp in the file container itself and then this gets used as the start time?<br>
<br>Google has so far not been able to provide me with my answers (or maybe I've been looking in the wrong place). There is mention of a patch for mencoder/mplayer that provided this functionality but that's obsolete now. Same for ffmpeg that provided something similar using a vhook plugin.<br>
<br>I would sincerely appreciate your help on this. I'm definitely on my wits end :)<br><br>Thanks<br><br>Bye for now<br><br>
