 #### video :
 This folder includes test fixtures associated with testing video encoder and decoder components such as simple encoding of a raw clip or decoding of an elementary stream, end of stream test, timestamp deviations test, flush test and so on. These tests are aimed towards testing the plugin that connects the component to the omx core.

-While tesing audio/video encoder, decoder components, test fixtures require input files. These input are files are present in the folder 'res'. Before running the tests all the files in 'res' have to be placed in '/media/sdcard/' or a path of your choice and this path needs to be provided as an argument to the test application
