Hi Thiago Thanks for your quick reply very much. I really appreciated that. video_h264encodingthread{ Frame_count i; Byte* encbuffer; // will be copied into gst_thread //bunch of codes, then the encbuffer will have a frame of compressed video data; // which will be copied into gst_thread gst buffer; gst_omxbuf=memcpy(encbuffer, sizeof(encbuffer) ); } I just create a new thread name gst_thread, which will create a fakesrc and then link to filesink (later will use this fakesrc to do some complex gst applications) the data in gst_omxbuf will be copied into fakesrc. Is any problem with the structure of my codes? I donot really understand the buffer management of gst-fakesrc or gst-appsrc; like the data is keeping copying into gst_omxbuf in the h264encodingthread , how the callback function of fakesrc in gst_thread can match the speed of that. Sould I create a heap so that in one end the data is writing into the heap and in the other end fakesrc keep reading data from heap? My codes seems working okay, i didnot get any errors when running it. however, when i check the file written by filesink, there are all zero. Could you please give me any advice, or any comments on this problem? Is any other better way to achieve my goal?

Take a look at appsrc, from gst-plugins-base: <a href="http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/gst-plugins-base-libs/html/gst-plugins-base-libs-appsrc.html" rel="nofollow" link="external" target="_blank">http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/gst-plugins-base-libs/html/gst-plugins-base-libs-appsrc.html</a> You put the appsrc as a source of your pipeline and link your remaining elements as usual, set the pipeline to playing and feed appsrc with your data inside GstBuffers. <div><div class='shrinkable-quote'> > > > > Regards, > > > > Jun > > -- > View this message in context: <a href="http://gstreamer-devel.966125.n4.nabble.com/how-to-import-a-live-buffer-into-gstreamer-tp4120766p4120766.html" rel="nofollow" link="external" target="_blank">http://gstreamer-devel.966125.n4.nabble.com/how-to-import-a-live-buffer-into-gstreamer-tp4120766p4120766.html</a></div> > Sent from the GStreamer-devel mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > _______________________________________________ > gstreamer-devel mailing list > <a href="http://user/SendEmail.jtp?type=node&node=4121779&i=0" rel="nofollow" link="external" target="_blank">[hidden email]</a> > <a href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/gstreamer-devel" rel="nofollow" link="external" target="_blank">http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/gstreamer-devel</a></div> -- Thiago _______________________________________________ gstreamer-devel mailing list <a href="http://user/SendEmail.jtp?type=node&node=4121779&i=1" rel="nofollow" link="external" target="_blank">[hidden email]</a> <a href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/gstreamer-devel" rel="nofollow" link="external" target="_blank">http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/gstreamer-devel</a> <hr color="#cccccc" noshade size="1"> <div style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font: 12px tahoma,geneva,helvetica,arial,sans-serif;"> <div style="font-weight: bold;">If you reply to this email, your message will be added to the discussion below:</div> <a href="http://gstreamer-devel.966125.n4.nabble.com/how-to-import-a-live-buffer-into-gstreamer-tp4120766p4121779.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" link="external">http://gstreamer-devel.966125.n4.nabble.com/how-to-import-a-live-buffer-into-gstreamer-tp4120766p4121779.html</a> </div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font: 11px/1.5em tahoma,geneva,helvetica,arial,sans-serif; margin-top: 0.4em;"> To unsubscribe from how to import a live buffer into gstreamer?, <a href="" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" link="external">click here</a>. <a href="http://gstreamer-devel.966125.n4.nabble.com/template/NamlServlet.jtp?macro=macro_viewer&id=instant_html%21nabble%3Aemail.naml&base=nabble.naml.namespaces.BasicNamespace-nabble.view.web.template.NabbleNamespace-nabble.view.web.template.InstantMailNamespace&breadcrumbs=instant+emails%21nabble%3Aemail.naml-instant_emails%21nabble%3Aemail.naml-send_instant_email%21nabble%3Aemail.naml" rel="nofollow" style="font: 9px serif;" target="_blank" link="external">NAML</a> </div></blockquote></div> <hr align="left" width="300" /> View this message in context: <a href="http://gstreamer-devel.966125.n4.nabble.com/how-to-import-a-live-buffer-into-gstreamer-tp4120766p4121915.html">Re: how to import a live buffer into gstreamer?</a> Sent from the <a href="http://gstreamer-devel.966125.n4.nabble.com/">GStreamer-devel mailing list archive</a> at Nabble.com.
