Usage Example

Decoder

The following pipeline takes 30fps H265 file and decodes it to the raw video.

defmodule Decoding.Pipeline do
  use Membrane.Pipeline

  alias Membrane.H265

  @impl true
  def handle_init(_ctx, _opts) do
    structure =
      child(:source, %Membrane.File.Source{chunk_size: 40_960, location: "input.h265"})
      |> child(:parser, H265.Parser)
      |> child(:decoder, H265.FFmpeg.Decoder)
      |> child(:sink,  %Membrane.File.Sink{location: "output.raw"})

    {[spec: structure], %{}}
  end
end

Encoder

The following pipeline takes 720p raw video file as input and encodes it as H265.

defmodule Encoding.Pipeline do
  use Membrane.Pipeline

  @impl true
  def handle_init(_) do
    structure =
      child(:source, %Membrane.File.Source{chunk_size: 40_960, location: "input.raw"})
      |> child(:parser, %Membrane.RawVideo.Parser{width: 1280, height: 720, pixel_format: :I420})
      |> child(:encoder, %Membrane.H265.FFmpeg.Encoder{preset: :fast, crf: 30})
      |> child(:sink, %Membrane.File.Sink{location: "output.h265"})

    {[spec: structure], %{}}
  end
end
