rtspsrc ! rtph264depay ! mp4mux not working

I am having zero luck recording h264 from an Axis camera to to a file using mp4mux. I want to use mp4mux so I can use faststart and because ffmux_mp4 produces poor video. I'm using gstreamer 0.10.25, gst-plugins-bad 0.10.13 (mp4mux), and gstreamer-ffmpeg 0.10.08.

Has anyone gotten this to work?

Using ffmux_mp4 works, but produces video with really bad artifacts during motion:
gst-launch -e -vm rtspsrc location="rtsp://axis-camera/axis-media/media.amp?videocodec=h264&streamprofile=test_1" ! rtph264depay byte-stream=false ! capsfilter caps="video/x-h264,width=704,height=480,framerate=(fraction)25/1" ! ffmux_mp4 name=muxer ! filesink location=/tmp/test1.mp4

The same pipeline with the mp4mux muxer fails:
gst-launch -e -vm rtspsrc location="rtsp://axis-camera/axis-media/media.amp?videocodec=h264&streamprofile=test_1" ! rtph264depay byte-stream=false ! capsfilter caps="video/x-h264,width=704,height=480,framerate=(fraction)25/1" ! mp4mux name=muxer ! filesink location=/tmp/test1.mp4

This results in a "Failed to determine time to mux" error:

Re: rtspsrc ! rtph264depay ! mp4mux not working

No idea, however I've found that sometimes it is necessary to put a
parser before the muxer.

so perhaps an h264parse or mpeg4videoparse ?

RE: rtspsrc ! rtph264depay ! mp4mux not working

Good response. That's what I originally thought should work, but it gave the
same "failed to determine time to mux" error. I've tried so many things now,
I can't even remember them all.

Here's the stream with the h264parse in it:

gst-launch -e -vm rtspsrc
location="rtsp://axis-camera/axis-media/media.amp?videocodec=h264&streamprof
ile=test_1"
! rtph264depay byte-stream=false ! capsfilter
caps="video/x-h264,width=704,height=480,framerate=(fraction)25/1" !
h264parse ! mp4mux name=muxer ! filesink location=/tmp/test1.mp4

I don't know if this will help, but we recently needed to re-mux an h264
mpeg-ts (from a Hauppauge HD PVR capture device) into mp4 and this is
what we did:

v4l2src ! mpegtsdemux !
h264parse ! video/x-h264,stream-format=avc ! mp4mux dts-method=reorder !
filesink location=video.mp4

Note also that your GStreamer is a rather old version; you should try
updating. mp4mux is in gst-plugins-good nowadays.

Dave.

Re: rtspsrc ! rtph264depay ! mp4mux not working

SOLVED

Updating gstreamer libs solved the issue. The pipeline that was failing is now working with these versions:

gst-plugins-bad-0.10.20
gst-plugins-base-0.10.30
gst-plugins-good-0.10.24
gst-plugins-ugly-0.10.16
