Overview
--------
2010-03-16 13:58:43 +00:00
gstreamer-vaapi consists in a collection of VA-API based plugins for
GStreamer and helper libraries.
* `vaapidecode' is used to decode JPEG, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, H.264, VC-1,
WMV3 videos to video/x-vaapi-surfaces surfaces, depending on the
2010-05-04 08:59:27 +00:00
underlying HW capabilities.
* `vaapiupload' is used to convert from video/x-raw-yuv pixels to
2010-03-30 13:17:12 +00:00
video/x-vaapi-surface surfaces.
2010-03-16 13:58:43 +00:00
* `vaapidownload' is used to convert from video/x-vaapi-surface
surfaces to video/x-raw-yuv pixels.
* `vaapipostproc' is used to postprocess video/x-vaapi-surface
surfaces, for e.g. deinterlacing, denoising and sharpening.
2010-03-16 13:58:43 +00:00
* `vaapisink' is used to display video/x-vaapi-surface surfaces to
screen.

Usage
-----
2012-04-02 08:05:57 +00:00
VA elements are automatically plugged into GStreamer pipelines. So,
using playbin (or playbin2 with GStreamer 0.10) should work as is.
However, here are a few alternate pipelines that could be manually
constructed.

2010-05-05 12:28:59 +00:00
* Play an H.264 video with an MP4 container in fullscreen mode
$ gst-launch-1.0 -v filesrc location=/path/to/video.mp4 ! \
2010-05-05 12:28:59 +00:00
qtdemux ! vaapidecode ! vaapisink fullscreen=true
2012-04-02 08:05:57 +00:00
* Play a raw MPEG-2 interlaced stream
$ gst-launch-1.0 -v filesrc location=/path/to/mpeg2.bits ! \
2012-04-02 08:05:57 +00:00
mpegvideoparse ! vaapidecode ! vaapipostproc ! vaapisink
* Convert from one pixel format to another, while also downscaling
$ gst-launch-1.0 -v filesrc location=/path/to/raw_video.yuv ! \
videoparse format=yuy2 width=1280 height=720 ! \
vaapipostproc format=nv12 height=480 ! vaapisink
