<div dir="ltr">Dwight,<div><br></div><div>I still do not understand, why do you need to encode raw frames to h264 in the first pipeline (vpuenc_h264), and decode its back to the raw frames in the second pipeline (avdec_h264). It will consume a lot of CPU power and in your case (if you're running this on the same PC) it is useless, as you already have raw (decoded) frames right after v4l2src.</div><div>So, as my first suggestion, it is more reasonable to appsink raw frames right after src, and then, using appsrc, encode these frames to h264 and put them into splitmuxsink, and at another pipeline encode it to the jpegenc and do whatever you want. </div><div><br></div><div>Best regards,</div><div>Anton.</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Sep 14, 2021 at 6:43 PM Dwight Kulkarni <<a href="mailto:dwight@realtime-7.com">dwight@realtime-7.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">Hi Anton,<br><div><br></div><div>1) Is there a way I can copy frames out of splitmuxsink ?
