Thank you all for your responses. multifilesrc and multifilesink is what
I was looking for. It would be nice if gstreamer would also support
formats like tif, jpeg2000 and dpx. These formats are used a lot in
professional high end edit stations.

Out of curiosity. For which other things then converting videos to
individual frames are image encoder currently used in gstreamer apps?
