very nice.

video_00! xviddec ! disksink location=test

looking at the log, you should put the xviddec and disksink into a
thread. The problem with runing the above pipeline is that avidemux does
not have a video_00 path when you create and run this pipeline. They
will become available after N iterations. The problem is then that
xviddec has an unconnected sinkpad, causing a failure.

if you run like:

gst-launch --gst-mask=-1 filesrc location=xXx_DivX.divx ! avidemux
video_00! { queue ! xviddec ! disksink location=test }

things should work better as the thread (with the {}) will not go into
the playing state right away (since queue is not connected) but will do
so if the video_00 pad becomes available at runtime.

You can alternatively create an app that handles this better or enhance
gst-launch.
