Hi,I’d like to save video from a usb camera as a .avi file on TX2.
I try to use gsteramer but I can only sava a .H264 file.
So,I want to know how can I bulid the pipeline in order to save avi.
This is a application which is writen by C/C++,so maybe we can not use the commandline directly in my program.

Hi,
It works in video only.

$ gst-launch-1.0 nvcamerasrc num-buffers=150 ! omxh264enc ! avimux ! filesink location=a.avi

If you need mp4, it is qtmux. If you need mkv, it is matroskamux. FYI.

Hi,
Suggest you try filesink. It seems something wrong in your appsink. You should perform memcpy() in every pull sample. Also if you want to save into multiple files, you should use multifilesink.
