* Make the driver write directly into each GstBuffer to avoid memcpy().
* Don't memset() the buffer before reusing it.
* Recycle memory by keeping two spare buffers. Two because the sink
downstream may keep a ref to the previous buffer.
Note that we align buffers on highest possible byte boundary (4096) so we
don't have to take into account what kind of alignment the driver requires.
Provides the following elements:
qtkitvideosrc: OS X video source relying on the QTKit API. Comes with
hard-coded caps as the API does not provide any way of querying for
formats supported by the hardware. Hasn't been tested a lot, but seems
to work.
miovideosrc: OS X video source which uses the undocumented/private
CoreMediaIOServices API, which is also the one used by iChat.
Present on latest version of Leopard and all versions of Snow Leopard.
Has been tested extensively with built-in cameras and TANDBERG's
PrecisionHD USB camera.
vtenc, vtdec: Generic codec wrappers which make use of the undocumented/
private VideoToolbox API on OS X and iOS. List of codecs are currently
hard-coded to H.264 for vtenc, and H.264 + JPEG for vtdec. Can easily be
expanded by adding new entries to the lists, but haven't yet had time to
do that. Should probably also implement probing as available codecs depend
on the OS and its version, and there doesn't seem to be any way to
enumerate the available codecs.
vth264decbin, vth264encbin: Wrapper bins to make it easier to use
vtdec_h264/vtenc_h264 in live scenarios.
iphonecamerasrc: iPhone camera source relying on the undocumented/private
Celestial API. Tested on iOS 3.1 running on an iPhone 3GS. Stops working
after a few minutes, presumably because of a resource leak. Needs some
love.
Note that the iOS parts haven't yet been ported to iOS 4.x.
As camerabin only gets notified of the changes from the
video source element, it should query the initial value
once the source is created so it initializes itself
correctly.
Adds a new rotate element to geometrictransform. It still
needs some work. But this is a good starting point.
Based on patch from Bert Douglas <bertd tplogic com>
Remove some stuff that was copy'n'pasted from core but
doesn't apply here. The following vars aren't set:
CHECK_CFLAGS, CHECK_LIBS, GST_OBJ_CFLAGS, GST_OBJ_LIBS,
so we may just as well remove them.
Garbage after frames is now included in the frames because flacparse
has no easy way to detect the real end of a frame. Decoders are
expected to everything after the frame because only decoding the
bitstream will reveal the real end of the frame.
Fixes bug #631814.
