Good to know. So I can essentially assume that if I use an appsink right 
after it's split off and been decoded into raw frames (and more 
importantly before it hits the GPU), I can expect the raw frames to look 
'acceptable' despite the fact that they turn out all green and weird 
using gst-launch?

I should have figured. I snatched a webm recoder and had it chew on the 
.mpg file. Runs fine now. That'll be a good enough solution for now. I 
opted for the Miro Video Converter as the XMedia Recoder just crashes 
upon encoding. Do you happen to have one you can recommend? The Miro one 
is a little too... Hmmm... How should I say... Idiot-proof? for my liking.
