opposite of parse

[Josh Doe]

Silly question: what's the opposite of parse? I'm working with a
proprietary video container that only stores uncompressed frames
(simple header, minimal footers). I've written *parse (using
GstBaseParse), but now I need to be able to write to this format. *enc
doesn't make sense, since there's no encoding, and likewise with *mux
since there's no multiplexing (only video frames stored, no audio).
Thanks,
-Josh

We tend to use 'enc' for that case as well, e.g. y4menc or wavenc.

People have also suggested 'format', but it hasn't caught on. I think
*mux or *enc is much more intuitive.

I'll go with that then, thanks!
