            <div>No, I haven't selected a Windows tablet yet. My goal is
              to learn Java and mobile programming, starting with
              Android (because I own an Android phone), then
              Windows/Windows tablet and Linux/Java, with an emphasis on
              multimedia. GStreamer is the best multimedia platform
              around (that I know of) and is (somewhat) portable across
              those platforms. As a personal goal I am working to
              develop a video conferencing app that runs on those
              platforms, simply because I am familiar with GStreamer and
              have worked in video conferencing for many years. This is
              a personal/professional development project.<br>
              <br>
            </div>
            I had already thought of the appsrc approach. My only
            concern is whether or not Android allows me access to the
            image buffers. I have an app that displays from a camera
            now, so I have the structure and the correct callback, but
            haven't checked to verify access to the actual buffer -
            tonight's project. Android seems to be rather paranoid and
            restricts access to many things, either to make development
            *VERY* easy (once you figure it out) or for security.<br>

    You can get NV21 or YV12 raw frames on all android devices (tested
    with 4.1+), I use the appsrc approach since 3 years and it works
    fine, <br>

          <div>As far a writing a 'proper' source element...well I spent
            many years working on lower level Windows video (DX and
            DirectShow). So I may take that on along with first
            attempting to finish the camera work you began. I really
            want to use the same basic pipeline on all of the systems.
            And, of course, contributing to GStreamer would be another
            asset on my resume.<br>

                      Note: the code is there (see links in the bug
