Hello there, I am working on a video dec plugin (based on hardware dec). I plan to use filesrc to read a raw H264 file and feed to my plugin. The buffers from plugin's sink pad are the source data for decoding so they need to be DMA-able. Is there way to control how the buffers are allocated? Since they are allocated in filesrc so that's not possible? Looks like I will need to allocate my own buffer in my plugin and then copy them over?
Also, a video frame may contain less bytes than what's in the buffer, what do I do with the remaining bytes? >From the ffmpeg example (they are software based so the first dma question >does not exist), they create a sub buffer of the remaining bytes and then does >a buffer join. These are time consuming I think. I wonder if there are other >faster solution? One thing I think might help is to have another plugin in >between, which parse the file and only give one frame size of data to my >plugin. But I am not sure if these kind of plugin exists.
