|
|
*
|
|
* This element merges streams (audio and video) into ISO MPEG-4 (.mp4) files.
|
|
*
|
|
* The following background intends to explain why various similar muxers
|
|
* are present in this plugin.
|
|
*
|
|
* The <ulink url="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/resources/qtfileformat.pdf">
|
|
* QuickTime file format specification</ulink> served as basis for the MP4 file
|
|
* format specification (mp4mux), and as such the QuickTime file structure is
|
|
* nearly identical to the so-called ISO Base Media file format defined in
|
|
* ISO 14496-12 (except for some media specific parts).
|
|
* In turn, the latter ISO Base Media format was further specialized as a
|
|
* Motion JPEG-2000 file format in ISO 15444-3 (mj2mux)
|
|
* and in various 3GPP(2) specs (3gppmux).
|
|
* The fragmented file features defined (only) in ISO Base Media are used by
|
|
* ISMV files making up (a.o.) Smooth Streaming (ismlmux).
|
|
*
|
|
* A few properties (#GstMp4Mux:movie-timescale, #GstMp4Mux:trak-timescale)
|
|
* allow adjusting some technical parameters, which might be useful in (rare)
|
|
* cases to resolve compatibility issues in some situations.
|
|
*
|
|
* Some other properties influence the result more fundamentally.
|
|
* A typical mov/mp4 file's metadata (aka moov) is located at the end of the
|
|
* file, somewhat contrary to this usually being called "the header".
|
|
* However, a #GstMp4Mux:faststart file will (with some effort) arrange this to
|
|
* be located near start of the file, which then allows it e.g. to be played
|
|
* while downloading. Alternatively, rather than having one chunk of metadata at
|
|
* start (or end), there can be some metadata at start and most of the other
|
|
* data can be spread out into fragments of #GstMp4Mux:fragment-duration.
|
|
* If such fragmented layout is intended for streaming purposes, then
|
|
* #GstMp4Mux:streamable allows foregoing to add index metadata (at the end of
|
|
* file).
|
|
*
|
|
* ## Example pipelines
|
|
* |[
|
|
* gst-launch-1.0 gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src num-buffers=50 ! queue ! x264enc ! mp4mux ! filesink location=video.mp4
