[gst-devel] ffmpeg flv mux issue

[Kumar]

Hi Christian,

I tried FLV muxer from gst-plugins-bad. Its generating a very small output
file file and exiting. ( around 1kb).

The pipeline that I have used is as follows:

gst-launch-0.10 filesrc location=/home/flv_test/Test.264 ! h264parse !
flvmux ! filesink location=/home/flv_test/Test.264.flv

What would be the problem... Is there any changes required in the
pipeline...?

Thanks & Regards,
Kumar KM

Hi Kumar,
Using ffmpeg muxer (and demuxers) in GStreamer is a bit of a hit and
miss. Have you tried using the native FLV muxer from gst-plugins-bad?
