Yep that is what I was doing before. Do you think I can draw rectangles over the cam image when using xvimagesink ? <div>2008/8/26, Eric Zhang <<a href="mailto:nicolas.m.zhang@gmail.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">nicolas.m.zhang@gmail.com</a>>:<div> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Hi, gstreamer-devel:     If you only want to `ximagesink' or `xvimagesink' draws images in your GtkDrawingArea, there is a very simple way to achieve this:     Just connect the `expose-event' signal of GtkDrawingArea and pass the window ID to the sink element: // Drawing on our drawing area g_signal_connect(G_OBJECT(area), "expose-event", G_CALLBACK(expose_cb), NULL); /* Callback to be called when the drawing area is exposed */ static gboolean expose_cb(GtkWidget * widget, GdkEventExpose * event, gpointer data) {     // `play-videosink' is your video sink element     gst_x_overlay_set_xwindow_id(GST_X_OVERLAY(play->videosink),                          GDK_WINDOW_XWINDOW(widget->window));     return FALSE; }     That's it. If you want to draw the image yourself while not using `xvimagesink' or `ximagesink', then I think this is a Gtk+ problem, not a gstreamer issue.
