multifilesink and mp4mux won't work together this way. MP4 files can't just be
cut in the middle, the two resulting files won't be playable on their own...
and also mp4mux needs to finalise files after writing before they're actually
usable (i.e. after receiving the EOS event mp4mux is going to rewrite headers
of the file).


For what you want to do you'll have to create a new mp4mux and filesink for
every file part yourself, and before switching from one part to another you
need to send an EOS event to the old part and wait until you get the EOS
message from the filesink before shutting it down. Re-linking pads during
PLAYING requires you to use blocking pad probes on the srcpad in front of the
muxer.


Also for all of this it's much easier to use 1.x than 0.10.
