Hi,

I am new with Gstreamer. I am using below command to record raw video data from camera.

gst-launch-1.0 -e v4l2src ! 'video/x-raw, format=UYVY, width=1920, height=1080, framerate=16/1' ! recorded_`date '+%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S'`.UYVY

Now want to set timestamp from c code.I am using g_object_set as below.
g_object_set(sink, “location”, “test.mp4”, NULL);

Is it possible to add timestamp through code?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
We would suggest encode into a file instead of saving the UYVY frames. Please check the encoding examples in gstreamer user guide.
