# GstEncodingProfile

Functions to create and handle encoding profiles.

Encoding profiles describe the media types and settings one wishes to use for an encoding process. The top-level profiles are commonly GstEncodingContainerProfile(s) (which contains a user-readable name and description along with which container format to use). These, in turn, reference one or more GstEncodingProfile(s) which indicate which encoding format should be used on each individual streams.

GstEncodingProfile(s) can be provided to the 'encodebin' element, which will take care of selecting and setting up the required elements to produce an output stream conforming to the specifications of the profile.

The encoding profiles do not necessarily specify which GstElement to use for the various encoding and muxing steps, as they allow to specifying the format one wishes to use.

Encoding profiles can be created at runtime by the application or loaded from (and saved to) file using the GstEncodingTarget API.

## The encoding profile serialization format

Encoding profiles can be serialized to be used in the command line tools or to set it on other other GObject-s using gst_util_set_object_arg for example.

The serialization format aims at being simple to understand although flexible enough to describe any possible encoding profile. There are several ways to describe the profile depending on the context but the general idea is that it is a colon separated list of EncodingProfiles descriptions, the first one needs to describe a GstEncodingContainerProfile and the following ones describe elementary streams.

### Using encoders and muxer element factory name

      muxer_factory_name:video_encoder_factory_name:audio_encoder_factory_name

For example to encode a stream into a WebM container, with an OGG audio stream and a VP8 video stream, the serialized GstEncodingProfile looks like:

      webmmux:vp8enc:vorbisenc

### Define the encoding profile in a generic way using caps:

      muxer_source_caps:video_encoder_source_caps:audio_encoder_source_caps

For example to encode a stream into a WebM container, with an OGG audio stream and a VP8 video stream, the serialized GstEncodingProfile looks like:

      video/webm:video/x-vp8:audio/x-vorbis

It is possible to mix caps and element type names so you can specify a specific video encoder while using caps for other encoders/muxer.

### Using preset

You can also set the preset name of the encoding profile using the caps+preset_name syntax as in:

      video/webm:video/x-vp8+youtube-preset:audio/x-vorbis

### Setting properties on muxers or on the encoding profile itself

Moreover, you can set the extra properties:

- `|element-properties,property1=true` (See gst_encoding_profile_set_element_properties)
- `|presence=true` (See See gst_encoding_profile_get_presence)
- `|single-segment=true` (See gst_encoding_profile_set_single_segment)
- `|single-segment=true` (See gst_encoding_video_profile_set_variableframerate)

for example:

      video/webm:video/x-vp8|presence=1|element-properties,target-bitrate=500000:audio/x-vorbis

### Enforcing properties to the stream itself (video size, number of audio channels, etc..)

You can also use the `restriction_caps->encoded_format_caps` syntax to specify the restriction caps to be set on a GstEncodingProfile

It corresponds to the restriction GstCaps to apply before the encoder that will be used in the profile (See gst_encoding_profile_get_restriction). The fields present in restriction caps are properties of the raw stream (that is, before encoding), such as height and width for video and depth and sampling rate for audio. This property does not make sense for muxers. See gst_encoding_profile_get_restriction for more details.

To force a video stream to be encoded with a Full HD resolution (using WebM as the container format, VP8 as the video codec and Vorbis as the audio codec), you should use:

      "video/webm:video/x-raw,width=1920,height=1080->video/x-vp8:audio/x-vorbis"

> NOTE: Make sure to enclose into quotes to avoid '>' to be reinterpreted by the shell.

In the case you are specifying encoders directly, the following is also possible:

      matroskamux:x264enc,width=1920,height=1080:audio/x-vorbis

## Some serialized encoding formats examples

### MP3 audio and H264 in MP4**

      video/quicktime,variant=iso:video/x-h264:audio/mpeg,mpegversion=1,layer=3

### Vorbis and theora in OGG

      application/ogg:video/x-theora:audio/x-vorbis

### AC3 and H264 in MPEG-TS

      video/mpegts:video/x-h264:audio/x-ac3

## Loading a profile from encoding targets

Anywhere you have to use a string to define a GstEncodingProfile, you can use load it from a GstEncodingTarget using the following syntaxes:

      target_name[/profilename/category]

or

      /path/to/target.gep:profilename

## Examples

### Creating a profile

    #include <gst/pbutils/encoding-profile.h>
    ...
    GstEncodingProfile *
    create_ogg_theora_profile(void)
    {
     GstEncodingContainerProfile *prof;
     GstCaps *caps;

     caps = gst_caps_from_string("application/ogg");
     prof = gst_encoding_container_profile_new("Ogg audio/video",
        "Standard OGG/THEORA/VORBIS",
        caps, NULL);
     gst_caps_unref (caps);

     caps = gst_caps_from_string("video/x-theora");
     gst_encoding_container_profile_add_profile(prof,
          (GstEncodingProfile*) gst_encoding_video_profile_new(caps, NULL, NULL, 0));
     gst_caps_unref (caps);

     caps = gst_caps_from_string("audio/x-vorbis");
     gst_encoding_container_profile_add_profile(prof,
          (GstEncodingProfile*) gst_encoding_audio_profile_new(caps, NULL, NULL, 0));
     gst_caps_unref (caps);

     return (GstEncodingProfile*) prof;
    }

### Example: Using an encoder preset with a profile

    #include <gst/pbutils/encoding-profile.h>
    ...
    GstEncodingProfile *
    create_ogg_theora_profile(void)
    {
     GstEncodingVideoProfile *v;
     GstEncodingAudioProfile *a;
     GstEncodingContainerProfile *prof;
     GstCaps *caps;
     GstPreset *preset;

     caps = gst_caps_from_string ("application/ogg");
     prof = gst_encoding_container_profile_new ("Ogg audio/video",
        "Standard OGG/THEORA/VORBIS",
        caps, NULL);
     gst_caps_unref (caps);

     preset = GST_PRESET (gst_element_factory_make ("theoraenc", "theorapreset"));
     g_object_set (preset, "bitrate", 1000, NULL);
     // The preset will be saved on the filesystem,
     // so try to use a descriptive name
     gst_preset_save_preset (preset, "theora_bitrate_preset");
     gst_object_unref (preset);

     caps = gst_caps_from_string ("video/x-theora");
     v = gst_encoding_video_profile_new (caps, "theora_bitrate_preset", NULL, 0);
     gst_encoding_container_profile_add_profile (prof, (GstEncodingProfile*) v);
     gst_caps_unref (caps);

     caps = gst_caps_from_string ("audio/x-vorbis");
     a = gst_encoding_audio_profile_new (caps, NULL, NULL, 0);
     gst_encoding_container_profile_add_profile (prof, (GstEncodingProfile*) a);
     gst_caps_unref (caps);

     return (GstEncodingProfile*) prof;
    }

### Listing categories, targets and profiles

    #include <gst/pbutils/encoding-profile.h>
    ...
    GstEncodingProfile *prof;
    GList *categories, *tmpc;
    GList *targets, *tmpt;
    ...
    categories = gst_encoding_list_available_categories ();

    ... Show available categories to user ...

    for (tmpc = categories; tmpc; tmpc = tmpc->next) {
      gchar *category = (gchar *) tmpc->data;

      ... and we can list all targets within that category ...

      targets = gst_encoding_list_all_targets (category);

      ... and show a list to our users ...

      g_list_foreach (targets, (GFunc) gst_encoding_target_unref, NULL);
      g_list_free (targets);
    }

    g_list_foreach (categories, (GFunc) g_free, NULL);
    g_list_free (categories);
