You need to write an application for that. It could use two muxer !
filesink behind a output-selector. You need to switch the branches
depending on your criteria (e.g. every n-sec and before new keyframe).
You will need to manage the states of the branches (switch the branch
that is inactive to NULL, change the filename and bring it back to PAUSED.
