How do I use gstreamer to encode an ffv1 file?
I'd like to encode a video with gstreamer to an FFV1 (ffmpeg's lossless video format) file. However, I cannot work out what type of mux'ing to use. If I run this:
gst-launch videotestsrc ! ffenc_ffv1 ! filesink location="test.ffv1"
Then the thing runs OK, but the resulting file doesn't appear to be a valid video file. When creating theora videos, I've previously written "theora ! oggmux ! filesink" in the pipeline, and this works. However, oggmux doesn't work here. What type of transport stream should I be using here, and what is the correct gst-launch fudge to use?
Cheers.
This does not seem to be supported in the version I have installed. You can check it for your version by saving the output of gst-xmlinspect to a file and searching for video/x-ffv in this file. The elements where this mime type is mentioned are:
So it seems this is supported by the avi demuxer but not by any muxer.
PS: The mime type can be found with gst-inspect ffenc_ffv1 .
