Can OpenH264 write h263 files

[Jerry Geis-2]

I am playing with openh264 as I have a need to generate h263 files (not using ffmpeg of course).

I have openh264 installed - and gst-inspect-1.0 finds it...

running this command :

gst-launch-1.0 -e videotestsrc ! openh264enc ! h264parse ! filesink /tmp/video.h263

gives me a file and totem plays it.

However I think the file is h264 and not h263.

How can I get h263 output without ffmpeg?

I am using gstreamer-1.10.2

Thanks,

Jerry

As the name suggests, openh264 is for h264 and not h263.

The only open source h263 encoder I'm aware of is in ffmpeg. What are
the reasons why you can't use it?
