[gst-devel] MPEG2 Hardware Encoder and V4l2src

[Michael A. Sciscenti]

Sounds good. If I have time, I will look into seeing what I can do about
making it work. I'm using it for a project at work and trying to see see
how low of encoding latency I can get.

I will also look into the NMM. Thanks for the help.

Mike

Hi,

ivtv/mpeg2 is not supported since I lack hardware. However, it shouldn't
be hard, only minor modifications required to the v4l2src element, to
make it work. You can either do that yourself or send me relevant
hardware to make it work. See the TODO in gst-plugins/sys/v4l/.

Cheers,
Ronald
