I want to use gstreamer to encode videos in opencv, since gstreamer has the potential to hardware-encode. I’ve written the following code with c++.
cv::VideoCapture video_cap;
std::string gstr = "appsrc ! autovideoconvert ! omxh264enc ! matroskamux ! filesink location=test.avi sync=false";
video_writer.open(gstr, CV_FOURCC('M','J','P','G'), fps, cv::Size(width, height), true);
Everything works fine. I can get the final file “test.avi”. However, I’m a little bit confused about the code above.
In the gstr, “omxh264enc” is used, which means the video encoder is h264.
In the vider_writer, CV_FOUR(‘M’,‘J’,‘P’,‘G’) is used, which represents that “motion jpeg” video encoder is activated.
Therefore, I’m curious which video encoder is used.
Thanks in advance.
