# mfh264enc

This element encodes raw video into H264 compressed data.

## Example pipelines

     gst-launch-1.0 -v videotestsrc ! mfh264enc ! h264parse ! qtmux ! filesink location=videotestsrc.mp4

This example pipeline will encode a test video source to H264 using Media Foundation encoder, and muxes it in a mp4 container.
