Hi Mitch,<br>
<br>
You should think of GStreamer rather like a collection of LEGO
bricks. Put them together the right way and you can make anything
you want.<br>
<br>
Your example has merely specified where it should get its input from
- but you haven't specified what you want to do with it.<br>
<br>
Take a look at the documentation
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/documentation/">http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/documentation/</a>) and skim through
the Application Development Manual. Although this is labelled "Read
This First", it does dive straight into programming - but look at
the section "Utility applications provided with GStreamer" and the
section on gst-launch. Also, look at the man pages on gst-launch.<br>
<br>
At the very least, you will need some sort of 'sink' to take your
video stream and display it somewhere, maybe xvimagesink. You may
need to process the video and store it using 'filesink'.<br>
<br>
When you read about the individual elements, many of them will give
examples of a pipeline to make use of them which you can then adapt
to handle your source.<br>
<br>
Hope that helps<br>
<br>
Ian<br>
