xvidenc

[Jerry Geis-2]

I used to use xvidenc in the 0.10 series...

I just grapped 1.11.1 and there is no longer and xvidenc at all in gst-plugins-bad

What am I to use instead ?

Thanks,

Jerry

The code was removed from GIT because it was not ported to the 1.x
release series in the last 4+ years. If someone wants to take it and
port it to 1.x, which shouldn't be that much work after all, we can
resurrect it from the GIT history.

An alternative to the xvidenc element would be avenc_mpeg4.

Thanks Sebastian,

from gst-inspect-1.0 I do not have avenc_mpeg4 either on my system. (centos 7.3)

The command I used to use is:

./test-launch "( v4l2src device=/dev/video0 ! queue ! video/x-raw-yuv,width=640,height=480,framerate=(fraction)30/1 ! xvidenc pass=0 me-vhq=0 me-quarterpel=true max-key-interval=-1 motion=0 bitrate=6000000 ! queue ! rtpmp4vpay pt=96 name=pay0 pulsesrc ! audioresample ! audioconvert ! vorbisenc !  rtpvorbispay pt=0 name=pay1 )

Is there something more updated I can use? gst-inspect-1.0 | grep enc shows

You have to install gst-libav for that.

I cannot install this package as legal issue in USA.

Anyway Xvid can be resurrected ?

Thanks,

Jerry

The situation for ffmpeg/gst-libav should be exactly the same as for
xvid (or many parts of gst-plugins-ugly in general) in that regard, but
that's for your lawyers to confirm if you want to know for sure.

> Anyway Xvid can be resurrected ?

Yes, once someone ports it to 1.x.

Hi Sebastian,

Unfortunately I am not the one to do a port to xvid....

However - using other things that were not available way back when I started... like vp8.

I tried this command for vp8.

./test-launch "( v4l2src device=/dev/video0 ! queue ! video/x-raw-yuv,width=640,height=480,framerate=(fraction)30/1 \

        ! videoconvert ! vp8enc ! queue ! rtpvp8vpay pt=96 name=pay0 pulsesrc ! audioresample ! audioconvert \

        ! vorbisenc ! rtpvorbispay pt=0 name=pay1 )

And it does not seem to work.

What would be the correct command to take the v4l2src and encode to vp8 with pulse audio.

Thanks,

Jerry

Xvid is most likely having the same legal issue.

Someone, maybe you, should propose a patch.

You should set the deadline property on the vp8encoder. Something like
"deadline=0".

In general you should describe how this does not work.

Thanks Nicholas,

I added the deadline=0 to the vp8enc and restarted...

I then use "totem rtsp://127.0.0.1:16200/camera.sdp" to try to play and I get no video - it also does not display any error.

Thanks,

Jerry

Another thing I notice is that you are using "video/x-raw-yuv", that
type was used in 0.10 and no longer exist in 1.0+. Should be video/x-
raw,... Are you trying to use obsolete 0.10 rather then 1.0+ (e.g.
1.10.3) ?

And another error you did, "rtpvp8vpay" is named "rtpvp8pay". You have
an extra v in there.

Final note, Opus is more common then vorbis these days, but both should
work.

> I added the deadline=0 to the vp8enc and restarted...

Actually, I meant to set this to it's minimum, try deadline=1. 0 is the
default, it means no deadline, and is really slow.

Have you enabled debug traces ? E.g. for warning and error, set the
environment GST_DEBUG=3.

Nicolas

p.s. A working 1.0 example using test-launch:

GST_DEBUG=2 ./test-launch \
  "v4l2src device=/dev/video0 \
     ! videoconvert ! vp8enc deadline=1 end-usage=cbr \
     ! rtpvp8pay pt=96  name=pay0 \
   pulsesrc ! audioresample ! audioconvert ! vorbisenc \
     ! rtpvorbispay pt=0 name=pay1"

Hi Nicholas,

Your Correct... I had a MIX of 0.10 and 1.0. I changed the two above and it worked.

My audio "sucks" very loud and noisy - so not sure pulsesrc is doing what its supposed to do.

Thanks for the tips. 

Jerry

Great.

It was clean here, but depends on your internal mic quality. With
headphone, you may test your audio quality with:

  gst-launch-1.0 pulsesrc ! pulsesink

You should probably have a look at the mixer (e.g. gnome controls or
pavucontrol). You might have some settings that cause saturation. If
it's just noise, you may try using webrtcdsp, it's an echo canceller
but also provide noise reduction.

good luck,
Nicolas
