gst-launch fail to load jpegenc codec

More debug info is needed to determine your issue.  I'm not very familiar with gstreamer, but there is more debug info available with a higher gst-debug-level, which you currently have set to 1.  You can set it to a value as high as 5, and the higher the number the more debug info is printed.

It's possible that setting a higher gstreamer debug level will just indicate that a Codec Engine call failed, perhaps the call to IMGENC1_create().  If this is the case, you can get more detailed information about he Codec Engine failure by setting the environment variable CE_DEBUG:
    $ CE_DEBUG=2 gst-launch ...
CE_DEBUG can be set from 1-3, with 3 being the most information (but perhaps too much, although one could argue there's never too much debug info).

OK,

now I run:

# CE_DEBUG=3 gst-launch filesrc location=./Minicontrol/capt_frame.yuv ! TIImgenc1 resolution=720x576 iColorSpace=YUV422P oColorSpace=YUV420P qValue=75 ! filesink location=./output.jpg -v --gst-debug-level=2

I thought that gst-debug-level=2 should be sufficent.

the output is

Using output color format YUV420P
Using input color format YUV422P
Failed to create image encoder: jpegenc
End of application.

the input file is a yuv422p, and I try to produce a jpeg yuv422p and yuv420p, and only yuv422p works!

I have also another file that is yuv422i (I think uyvy format?), I tried to output some formats and I can summarize the results in a table

It seems that depends on input and output formats.

but in the jpegenc datasheet there is no table that describes the compatibility with other input files types.

maybe this post should be moved in "Multimedia Software Codecs forum"

best regards

I agree, feels like a codec question at this point.  I'll move this to the Codec forum.

The support for input and o/p color format would be written in the userguide.
