The sample pipeline
Sample code
var pipeline = new MediaBlocksPipeline();
var filename = "test.mp4";
var fileSource = new UniversalSourceBlock(await UniversalSourceSettings.CreateAsync(new Uri(filename)));
var aacEncoderBlock = new AACEncoderBlock(new MFAACEncoderSettings() { Bitrate = 192 });
pipeline.Connect(fileSource.AudioOutput, aacEncoderBlock.Input);
var h264EncoderBlock = new H264EncoderBlock(new MFH264EncoderSettings());
pipeline.Connect(fileSource.VideoOutput, h264EncoderBlock.Input);
var mkvSinkBlock = new MKVSinkBlock(new MKVSinkSettings(@"output.mkv"));
pipeline.Connect(h264EncoderBlock.Output, mkvSinkBlock.CreateNewInput(MediaBlockPadMediaType.Video));
pipeline.Connect(aacEncoderBlock.Output, mkvSinkBlock.CreateNewInput(MediaBlockPadMediaType.Audio));
await pipeline.StartAsync();
