Hi Julien, Thanks for the quick reply. There is only one filter under the Video Capture Sources group: the Microsoft DV Camera and VCR. There are two output pins: DV A/V Out and DV Vid Out. All of the properties in DV A/V Out are disabled and are either empty or set to 'None', with the exception of the color space/compression (which is probably the one we're interested in) which is set to dvsd. The properties for DV Vid Out are the same as above, but without the color space/compression set. If it would help I could piece together a screenshot of the contents of the filter from the 'Insert Filters' dialog, although it doesn't look like it will provide much more information. Thanks again, Phil <div class="gmail_quote">2009/6/25 Julien Isorce <<a href="mailto:julien.isorce@gmail.com">julien.isorce@gmail.com</a>> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <div class="gmail_quote">2009/6/25 Phil Rendell <<a href="mailto:philrendell@gmail.com" target="_blank">philrendell@gmail.com</a>> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Hi,<div class="im"> WARNING: erroneous pipeline: could not link dshowvideosrc0 to ffmpegcsp0 I'm using gst-launch to do this: gst-launch -v dshowvideosrc ! ffmpegcolorspace ! directdrawsink I'm using the GStreamer WinBuilds version 0.10.3, containing version 0.10.7 of the dshowsrcwrapper plugin and version 0.10.22 of ffmpegcolorspace.</div> </blockquote> <div> Hi, Could you describe (or take a screenshot) the properties you can see using "graphedit" ? (you can find graphedit on the web) I mean, instanciate the dshow filter that is associated to your firewire camera. It should be in the video device capture category. Then right click on the output pin and finally tell us which formats are available. Then we would be able to tell you if the current dshowsrcwrapper implementation supports those formats.
