gst1394 is the plugin, but you'll likely be interested in the feature the plugin provides, namely "dv1394src". it's src mime is video/dv. i am unsure on why it doesn't show up with gst-inspect, though.

no. it's a flaw in the plugin. but dvdec requires libdv for decoding video/dv to video/raw.

dunno, sorry. maybe have a look at the sources of the spider element, which most definitely scans plugins for pad mimetypes.
