[gst-devel] v4l2src and Hardware encoder cards

[Robert]

Hi all,

I've got a hardware mpeg encoder card and I'd like to use gstreamer to
caputre and display the video as it is captured (I assume this is
possible!).  Are there any examples of how to set properties such as
caputre size, bitrate and format for the hardware encoder?  gst-inspect
doesn't appear to return any info on how to do this for the v4l2src
element.  (and accoring to it's caps it doesn't output mpeg video
either?)

If I just kick of gst-launch v4l2src ! filesink location=test.mpg it
produces a large file, but the file doesn't play back.

Thanks,
Robert.
