Need your advise on the Codec Application development

Here is a question I got over email which I am posting it in forum for reply:

Karthikeyan.Mahalingam@Takata.com wrote

" I am working on the DM8148 processor for developing an application on the ARM side. I want to use the HDVICP2 co processor for encoding/decoding operation.

The application shall pass the input file, codec type and the operation ( encode/decode ).
I have quick question - which one should I use for the development task, - OpenMAX IL or the GStreamer plugin.

Please advise."

  • It was a good idea and I don't see anything wrong with the application.

  • For DM8148, Gstreamer elements for video decode and encode are built on top of OMX video decoder and encoder. Gstreamer brings along several other elements which might help you in your application writing like several sources elements - file/network, A/V capture, several demuxers, muxers, AV sinks with built in AV sync etc. If you will need these pieces in your application , you might be better off using gstreamer.

    Thanks,
