[gst-devel] live video latency

[Anthony Baxter]

For an upcoming play, I'm taking a live webcam feed, flipping it and 
adding an overlay to the image. I've got this working with the 
following pipeline:
gst-launch "filesrc location=overlay.png ! pngdec 
! alphacolor  ! videomixer name=mix ! ffmpegcolorspace 
! videoflip method=horizontal-flip ! xvimagesink 
v4l2src! ffmpegcolorspace ! mix."

The only problem with this is that there's about a half-second or so 
of latency between the live action and what comes out the end of 
the pipeline. A much simpler pipeline also exhibits this. Are there 
any obvious tricks for reducing the latency?

Thanks,
Anthony
