Grab H.264 video on Raspberry Pi with gstreamer

(More like a note to self this.)

Load Video4Linux driver:

sudo modprobe bcm2835-v4l2

Grab some video into Matroska container:

gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src ! video/x-h264,framerate=30/1 ! h264parse ! matroskamux ! filesink location=test.mkv

In Full HD:


gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src ! video/x-h264,width=1920,height=1080,framerate=30/1 ! h264parse ! matroskamux ! filesink location=test.mkv
