Overview
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
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-4:2, H.264 AVC,
|
|
H.264 MVC, VP8, VC-1, WMV3, HEVC videos to VA surfaces, depending
|
|
on the underlying hardware capabilities. This plugin is also able
|
|
to implicitly download the decoded surface to raw YUV buffers.
|
|
|
|
* `vaapiencode_<CODEC>' is used to encode into MPEG-2, H.264 AVC,
|
|
H.264 MVC, JPEG, VP8, HEVC videos, depending on the actual value
|
|
of <CODEC> (mpeg2, h264, etc.). By default, raw format bitstreams
|
|
are generated, so the result may be piped to a muxer.
|
|
e.g. qtmux for MP4 containers.
|
|
|
|
* `vaapipostproc' is used to filter VA surfaces, for e.g. scaling,
|
|
deinterlacing (bob, motion-adaptive, motion-compensated), noise
|
|
reduction or sharpening. This plugin is also used to upload raw
|
|
YUV pixels into VA surfaces.
|
|
|
|
* `vaapisink' is used to render VA surfaces to an X11 or Wayland
|
|
display. This plugin also features a "headless" mode (DRM) more
|
|
suited to remote transcode scenarios, with faster throughput.
|
|

Usage
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
VA elements are automatically plugged into GStreamer pipelines. So,
|
|
using playbin should work as is.
|
|
However, here are a few alternate pipelines that could be manually
|
|
constructed.
|
|
|
|
* Play an H.264 video with an MP4 container in fullscreen mode
|
|
$ gst-launch-1.0 -v filesrc location=/path/to/video.mp4 ! \
|
|
qtdemux ! vaapidecode ! vaapisink fullscreen=true
|
|
|
|
* Play a raw MPEG-2 interlaced stream
|
|
$ gst-launch-1.0 -v filesrc location=/path/to/mpeg2.bits ! \
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
* Encode a 1080p stream in raw I420 format into H.264
|
|
$ gst-launch-1.0 -v filesrc location=/path/to/raw_video.yuv ! \
|
|
videoparse format=i420 width=1920 height=1080 framerate=30/1 ! \
|
|
vaapiencode_h264 rate-control=cbr tune=high-compression ! \
|
|
qtmux ! filesink location=/path/to/encoded_video.mp4
