[gst-devel] Matroskamux: writing index is slow

[Arnout Vandecappelle]

 Hoi -devel,

 I'm writing an application that streams video from live sources into matroska 
files.  The files are closed when they are 2GB.  I noticed that this closing 
can take 4-5 seconds on a high performance server.  This is because 
matroskamux, while writing its index, is writing 3-8 bytes and then seeking 
back and forth for every frame in the stream.  There is actually a cache 
implemented in embl-write.c, but it has been disabled since 2003 because it 
doesn't work.

 So, my question is, before I start fixing this cache, does anybody know 
what's wrong with it?

 Regards,
 Arnout
