4k preview freezing while decoding/rendering

[Manikandan Valaguru]

Hi,
We're currently using the following GStreamer pipeline to store 4K video from an RTSP stream:
"gst-launch-1.0 -e rtspsrc latency=0 location=rtsp://192.168.1.13:5005/videodata ! rtph264depay ! h264parse ! mp4mux ! filesink location=file.mp4"
The recorded video is then played back using the following pipeline:
"gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location=videoplayback.mp4 ! qtdemux ! av1parse ! av1dec ! videoconvert ! xvimagesink sync=false "
However, during playback, we are experiencing stuttering and occasional freezing in the video output. We've attached the video file that exhibits the issue for your reference.

We suspect the problem might be related to decoding or rendering limitations, possibly due to incorrect pipeline elements or playback configuration. We're especially unsure about the use of av1parse and av1dec, given that the original stream is H.264 encoded.
We would greatly appreciate your insights on:

  *   Whether the playback pipeline is appropriate for the saved file format.
  *   If any optimizations or changes can improve the smoothness of playback.
  *   Any known issues with hardware/software decoding of high-resolution streams.

Thanks in advance for your help!
Regards,
Manikandan
