Hi. I am new to the community. I am running an IMX219 (Arducam) camera through the CAM0 port of a jetson orin nano using ubuntu 20.4. I am able to get a preview image but I am not able to record. I use the following command recommended by Arducam and get the error message below. Any ideas how to fix this? Thank you in advance

nick@nick-desktop:~$ gst-launch-1.0 -e nvarguscamerasrc sensor-id=0 ! “video/x-raw(memory:NVMM),width=1920,height=1080,framerate=20/1” ! nvv4l2h264enc ! h264parse ! mp4mux ! filesink location=rpi_v3_imx219_cam0.mp4

Hi,
Orin Nano does not have hardware encoder. Please use software encoder x264enc plugin.

When I ran the code with x264enc, I got the error below

~$ gst-launch-1.0 -e nvarguscamerasrc sensor-id=0 ! “video/x-raw(memory:NVMM),width=1920,height=1080,framerate=20/1” ! x264enc ! h264parse ! mp4mux ! filesink location=rpi_v3_imx219_cam0.mp4

Any ideas!? Thank you

Hi,
Please try

$ gst-launch-1.0 -e nvarguscamerasrc sensor-id=0 ! "video/x-raw(memory:NVMM),width=1920,height=1080,framerate=20/1" ! nvvidconv ! video/x-raw ! x264enc ! h264parse ! qtmux ! filesink location=rpi_v3_imx219_cam0.mp4
