Gstreamer: Status Of Python Bindings And Encoding Video With Mixed Audio

I am hoping to find a way to write generated video (non-real time) from Python and mix it with external audio file (MP3) simultaneously. What's the current status of GStreamer Pyt

Solution 1:

Whether or not the binding are "up-to-date" really depends on what version of Python you're using. As for Python 2.7, I am using GStreamer without incident.

I have been fighting a major bug in developing with Python 2.7 and GStreamer on Windows 7 (WinBuilds installers), but I'm able to work with GStreamer just fine on Ubuntu.

GStreamer does have mp3 codecs, but there are some legal matters surrounding their legality in some countries. I'd do a Google search on that before using them.

As for tutorials, no luck. All the same, the existing tutorials do quite well for the modern version, especially this one and this one.

In regards to writing MPEG-4 output and feeding raw images, I do not know. That would be a good stand-alone question, in all honesty.
