[gst-devel] muxing streams

[Mark Nauwelaerts]

Most likely the problem below is that avimux refuses the caps because they do 
not provide width and height, which are not parsed from the stream and put in 
the caps by h264parse.
(see also http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=530513)

Besides this, codec_data is not provided either, which may not prevent muxing 
but likely causes problems further down when trying to play.  Having no 
codec_data on the input caps also makes h264parse believe the input is 
bytestream format, which it may not be as it extracted from a framed/packetised 
source.  Bottom line; this approach is (presently) not quite recommended.

Mark.
