Encoding a DMABuf into a video stream with VAAPI

[xaterus at gmail.com]

Hello,

sorry for the late reply, I had to take a break from the project.
The intel-media-va-driver fixed the
"gstvaapifilter.c:1373:gst_vaapi_filter_set_property:<vaapifilter0>
VA" PRoblem.


But I still have the problem that my pipeline does not work.

> appsrc name=source format=time ! video/x-raw(memory:DMABuf),width=1024,height=768,framerate=(fraction)60/1,format=BGRx ! vapostproc ! vah264enc ! h264parse ! mp4mux ! filesink location=../test.mp4

It seems that vapostproc can't convert from
video/x-raw(memory:DMABuf), format=BGRx to
to video/x-raw(memory:DMABuf), format=NV12 which is needed for
vah264enc. Or do I have a mistake somewhere else?

Thanks in advance and Greetings
Michael
