Save video 1080P USB IMX307

Question

Hi,

I tried to save the video 1080P from USB IMX307 camera on Jetson Nano L4T R32.4.2. The command I used is:

gst-launch-1.0 -e -v v4l2src device=/dev/video1 io-mode=2 do-timestamp=true ! image/jpeg, width=1920, height=1080, framerate=30/1 ! jpegparse ! nvjpegdec ! 'video/x-raw(memory:NVMM)' ! nvvidconv ! "video/x-raw(memory:NVMM),format=(string)I420,width=1920,height=1080" ! nvvidconv ! 'video/x-raw(memory:NVMM),format=NV12' ! omxh264enc bitrate=8000000 ! h264parse ! qtmux ! filesink location=video_1080p.mkv

 The video is saved successfully but when playing the video file, it shows video with slow motion like dropped frame to 1-2FPS although the video file info shows 1920x1080@30FPS.

When I tried to set the save file to 720P like in below code, the video play back is normal, no drop frame problem.

gst-launch-1.0 -e -v v4l2src device=/dev/video1 io-mode=2 do-timestamp=true ! image/jpeg, width=1920, height=1080, framerate=30/1 ! jpegparse ! nvjpegdec ! 'video/x-raw(memory:NVMM)' ! nvvidconv ! "video/x-raw(memory:NVMM),format=(string)I420,width=1280,height=720" ! nvvidconv ! 'video/x-raw(memory:NVMM),format=NV12' ! omxh264enc bitrate=8000000 ! h264parse ! qtmux ! filesink location=video_720p.mkv

Can Veye double check the codes for 1080P above and provide any solution to this case?

Hi，
I checked it on jetson  nano.  It print this:

WARNING: from element /GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstNvOverlaySink-nvoverlaysink:nvoverlaysink-nvoverlaysink0: A lot of buffers are being dropped.

Additional debug info:

gstbasesink.c(2902): gst_base_sink_is_too_late (): /GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstNvOverlaySink-nvoverlaysink:nvoverlaysink-nvoverlaysink0:

There may be a timestamping problem, or this computer is too slow.

And I checked it on jetson xavier nx, your cmd works fine.

PS:  CS-MIPI-IMX307 support h.264  format itself, May be you can use the video directly from this camera module? 

Hope  will help~

Thank you for your answer.

It works fine on xavier NX means the video is recorded with resolution 1080P can play back properly (no drop frame)? Have you tested with USB IMX307 or CSI IMX307 on xavier NX?

yes，yes.
I checked your cmd on nx with USB imx307.
I wrote it wrong before, in the PS section.
