[gst-devel] encoding to anything but ogg

[Thomas P.]

I've been trying to convert a file to anything but ogg (i found an
example for that on the web) all day without success. Also some
encoders seem to work, while others don't.

The following works:

gst-launch-0.8 videotestsrc ! ffenc_mpeg4 ! avimux name=mux ! filesink
location=test.avi { sinesrc ! audioconvert ! lame ! queue ! mux. }

but this does not:

gst-launch-0.8 videotestsrc ! ffenc_mpeg1video ! ffmux_mpeg name=mux !
filesink location=test.mpeg { sinesrc ! audioconvert ! ffenc_mp2 !
queue ! mux. }

I can't see the difference except for the codecs.

Also why does the following work:

gst-launch-0.8 oggmux name=m ! filesink location=file.ogg { filesrc
location= 050518-ee380-100.wmv ! decodebin name=d d. ! audioconvert !
rawvorbisenc ! queue max-size-time=5000000000 ! m. d. !
ffmpegcolorspace ! theoraenc ! queue max-size-time=5000000000 ! m. }

but not this:

gst-launch-0.8 ffmux_mpeg name=m ! filesink location=file.mpeg {
filesrc location= 050518-ee380-100.wmv ! decodebin name=d d. !
audioconvert ! ffenc_mp2 ! queue max-size-time=50000000 ! m. d. !
ffmpegcolorspace ! ffenc_mpeg1video ! queue max-size-time=50000000 !
m. }

and neither does this:

gst-launch-0.8 avimux name=m ! filesink location=file.avi { filesrc
location= 050518-ee380-100.wmv ! decodebin name=d d. ! audioconvert !
lame ! queue max-size-time=50000000 ! m. d. ! ffmpegcolorspace !
ffenc_mpeg4 ! queue max-size-time=50000000 ! m. }

All i want is to encode to either MPEG1 or AVI, preferably the first.
Is that somehow possible? I can do very nice things with gstreamer, as
long as it somehow results in an OGG. Unfortunately my DVD player
doesn't know anything about OGGs.

Thanks for any help.
