I am trying to write gstreamer pipeline to convert mpeg4 video to mpegts format.
I tried below pipeline but no luck
$ gst-launch-1.0 -e filesrc location=20200818125158_00001.ts.mp4 ! qtdemux name=mdemux ! \
h264parse ! video/x-h264,stream-format=byte-stream ! mpegtsmux name=mux ! filesink location=20200818125158_00001.ts
I get below error when I execute above pipeline
Setting pipeline to PAUSED ...
Pipeline is PREROLLING ...

After spending multiple hours and reading more about gstreamer I figured out correct pipeline. Below pipeline works for me
gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location=vid.mp4 ! qtdemux ! avdec_mpeg4 ! X264enc ! mpegtsmux ! filesink location=vid.ts
