Frequently asked questions

Confession: This is largely a place where I can dump info I've learned about MMAL and various niggles throughout my time with MMALSharp.

Videos won't play correctly through VLC

The videos produced by the MMAL Video Encoder component are in a raw format i.e. they are not within a H.264/MJPEG container. There is a fair bit of info surrounding this on the web, but in order to successfully open a video file produced by MMALSharp, you can do the following:

vlc --demux=mjpeg /path/to/your/video.mjpeg vlc --demux=h264 /path/to/your/video.avi
