# videoconvertscale

This element resizes video frames and allows changing colorspace. By default the element will try to negotiate to the same size on the source and sinkpad so that no scaling is needed. It is therefore safe to insert this element in a pipeline to get more robust behaviour without any cost if no scaling is needed.

This element supports a wide range of color spaces including various YUV and RGB formats and is therefore generally able to operate anywhere in a pipeline.

## Example pipelines

     gst-launch-1.0 -v filesrc location=videotestsrc.ogg ! oggdemux ! theoradec ! videoconvertscale ! autovideosink

Decode an Ogg/Theora and display the video. If the video sink chosen cannot perform scaling, the video scaling will be performed by videoconvertscale when you resize the video window. To create the test Ogg/Theora file refer to the documentation of theoraenc.

     gst-launch-1.0 -v filesrc location=videotestsrc.ogg ! oggdemux ! theoradec ! videoconvertscale ! video/x-raw,width=100 ! autovideosink

Decode an Ogg/Theora and display the video with a width of 100.
