UTC timestamp into H.264 stream

[Sebastian Dröge]

Hi,

as discussed in private mail before, basically what you need to do here
is (because you want to get the UTC times of when the frame was
*captured) to convert the buffer PTS of each buffer together with the
segment and the base time to the pipeline's clock time.

If the pipeline is using the system clock and set to the real-time
clock and is using UTC time, then you can use the value directly.
Otherwise you'll have to do the translation as needed.
