You probably want a "filtered link" with fixed height/width between your 
videoscale element and the element after that. In your decoder element you 
should be able to just do gst_pad_try_set_caps (decoder->srcpad, newcaps) 
before you send out a frame that has a different video size than the previous 
one.
