[gst-devel] Videomixing two/multiple webcams side by side

[Michael Joachimiak]

Scott,

USB cameras are a little bit bad since they don't provide a constant
framerate.
It depends on the integration time (longer integration times -- lower
framerate) .
And integration time depends on changing light conditions.
You can consider dropping all frames but latter in the stream to get them
synchronize.
If framerates will be different faster camera will be dropping and you will
get constant framerate.
I had the same problem before.
In your chain function you can check the size of the buffer and if it has
more than one frame you can take a pointer to the latest frame.
Hmm.. But I guess you don't have your own plugin? Do you?

This strikes another question. Is it possible to drop frames like I
mentioned using videomixer?
