I don't know enough myself to answer this question. Think we have some
plugins that might be usefull for this but hopefully someone else on the
list can give you the details. If not you come to the #gstreamer channel
on irc.freenode.net I think you could try talking to 'bilboed'. He is
using GStreamer to make a non-linear video editor so he should have some
input on how to extract single frames.

My guess is that your other pipelines need a colorspace plugin at least
to work. 'ffcolorspace' is the one most of us use. You can check which
ones you have with gst-inspect|grep colorspace.

Yes, it can be done :) In my view it looks like what you want is a small 
subsett of a non-linear editor, so maybe you can even use the one
bilboed is making.
