Let us know if you run into any problems or have further questions :)

So you mean that the frame grabbers are not producing a frame at 0.025
second boundaries but somewhere around that? And you want all frame
grabbers to produce a frame at exactly N*0.025 seconds, i.e. all of
them at the same time?

In that case we would need more details about how you grab frames. You
would need to modify that code to ensure that frames are grabbed at
exactly the required times. Once that happened you can then forward
that all to GStreamer as discussed before and it will all work fine.
