| <p> |
| This element takes an incoming stream of timestamped video frames. |
| It will produce a perfect stream that matches the source pad's framerate. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| The correction is performed by dropping and duplicating frames, no fancy |
| algorithm is used to interpolate frames (yet). |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| By default the element will simply negotiate the same framerate on its |
| source and sink pad. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| This operation is useful to link to elements that require a perfect stream. |
| Typical examples are formats that do not store timestamps for video frames, |
| but only store a framerate, like Ogg and AVI. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| A conversion to a specific framerate can be forced by using filtered caps on |
| the source pad. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| The properties <a class="link" href="gst-plugins-base-plugins-videorate.html#GstVideoRate--in" title='The "in" property'><span class="type">"in"</span></a>, <a class="link" href="gst-plugins-base-plugins-videorate.html#GstVideoRate--out" title='The "out" property'><span class="type">"out"</span></a>, <a class="link" href="gst-plugins-base-plugins-videorate.html#GstVideoRate--duplicate" title='The "duplicate" property'><span class="type">"duplicate"</span></a> |
| and <a class="link" href="gst-plugins-base-plugins-videorate.html#GstVideoRate--drop" title='The "drop" property'><span class="type">"drop"</span></a> can be read to obtain information about number of |
| input frames, output frames, dropped frames (i.e. the number of unused input |
| frames) and duplicated frames (i.e. the number of times an input frame was |
| duplicated, beside being used normally). |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| An input stream that needs no adjustments will thus never have dropped or |
| duplicated frames. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| When the <a class="link" href="gst-plugins-base-plugins-videorate.html#GstVideoRate--silent" title='The "silent" property'><span class="type">"silent"</span></a> property is set to FALSE, a GObject property |
| notification will be emitted whenever one of the <a class="link" href="gst-plugins-base-plugins-videorate.html#GstVideoRate--duplicate" title='The "duplicate" property'><span class="type">"duplicate"</span></a> or |
| <a class="link" href="gst-plugins-base-plugins-videorate.html#GstVideoRate--drop" title='The "drop" property'><span class="type">"drop"</span></a> values changes. |
| This can potentially cause performance degradation. |
| Note that property notification will happen from the streaming thread, so |
| applications should be prepared for this. |
