Putting Video Frames Into a Buffer for Appsrc

[William Metcalf]

Andrey, thank you for the information and the links.  I will look through those and see if they solve my problem.

Josh, I am not using the DeckLink source mostly because in my research I never came accross it so I didn't know that it existed.  Secondly, I am using GStreamer on windows and when I do a gst-inspect to list all available elements I do not have a decklink source listed.  I am interested in using the decklink source, but I do not know how to add other elements in Windows.  Do you have any advice or links that could show me how to do this?  Thank you.

Any particular reason you're not using the decklink source element in
gst-plugins-bad?
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-plugins-bad/tree/sys/decklink

I'd be interested to know, because I'm about to work with a Blackmagic
Design DeckLink Studio 2 card and was planning to use this element.

Thanks,
-Josh
