Simple things should work. I haven't tried v4l code in a while though.
In theory you should be able to use v4lsrc, dv1394src, dvdec,
xvimagesink, and encoders and effects you need. Probably even in a
simple pipeline on the command line something like this (untested):
$ gst-launch dv1394src ! dvdec ! edgeTV | xvimagesink
