Implemented Interfaces

GstTheoraEnc implements GstPreset.

Description

This element encodes raw video into a Theora stream.

Theora is a royalty-free

video codec maintained by the Xiph.org Foundation, based on the VP3 codec.

The theora codec internally only supports encoding of images that are a multiple of 16 pixels in both X and Y direction. It is however perfectly possible to encode images with other dimensions because an arbitrary rectangular cropping region can be set up. This element will automatically set up a correct cropping region if the dimensions are not multiples of 16 pixels.

To control the quality of the encoding, the “bitrate” and “quality” properties can be used. These two properties are mutualy exclusive. Setting the bitrate property will produce a constant bitrate (CBR) stream while setting the quality property will produce a variable bitrate (VBR) stream.

A videorate element is often required in front of theoraenc, especially when transcoding and when putting Theora into the Ogg container.

Example pipeline

1
gst-launch-1.0 -v videotestsrc num-buffers=500 ! video/x-raw,width=1280,height=720 ! queue ! progressreport ! theoraenc ! oggmux ! filesink location=videotestsrc.ogg

This example pipeline will encode a test video source to theora muxed in an ogg container. Refer to the theoradec documentation to decode the create stream.

The “cap-underflow” property

  “cap-underflow”            gboolean

Enable capping of bit reservoir underflows.

Flags: Read / Write

Default value: FALSE


The “drop-frames” property

  “drop-frames”              gboolean

Allow or disallow frame dropping.

Flags: Read / Write

Default value: TRUE


The “keyframe-auto” property

  “keyframe-auto”            gboolean

Automatic keyframe detection.

Flags: Read / Write

Default value: TRUE

  “keyframe-freq”            gint

Keyframe frequency.

Flags: Read / Write

Allowed values: [1,32768]

Default value: 64


The “multipass-cache-file” property

  “multipass-cache-file”     gchar *
