Splitting Video in a Recording Pipeline

[lijinshyam]

Hi

  I am,trying to implement a recorder that will split a larger media file or a live source in to smaller chunks.
First i created a pipeline to record the steam from filesrc and rtspsrc . For Implementing the file change i put a callback in the encoder element which keep on checking the size of the file created by the pipeline. When the filesize is reached the predefined size then i will put the pipeline in to GST_STATE_PAUSE.   Then i move the recorded file to the destination .,after that that the state of the pipeline is set to GST_STATE_NULL. and i unref the main pipeline.Here the first video is created and after that the same pipeline is created and the video is recorded . I can Implement file change in this way..But is this the right way to Implement my idea..?

Pipeline Created --->> GST_STATE_READY---->> GST_STATE_PAUSE ---->>GST_STATE_PLAYING-----{

after a predefined file size splitting file } -->> GST_STATE_PAUSE--->> GST_STATE_READY-->>GST_STATE_NULL-->>unref the pipeline

After this the same method is repeated to create the second chunk. Is there any better way to Implement idea...?


Regards

LijiN

Hi,

as all my emails of today, I'm pretty in late.. I hope this helps anyway.

The encoder element would not consider the overhead generated by the
muxer and by other possible streams (for instance, if you're doing
this with the video encoder you would not get the quantity of audio
data written).

When debugging, I usually install a data probe on the filesrc sink pad
in order to get the proper size of the file while writing it, but
maybe there are more elegant ways to handle the thing. Be careful
about the execution context!

it's actually possible to re-use the same pipeline (after
reconfiguring its properties).

I wonder if segment events may be of any help here..
