If you ask more specific questions, you'll get more useful answers.

Anyway: xvimagesink uses the Xv extension. Some hardware only provides
a single Xv port (running 'xvinfo' will tell you how many you have),
in which case you can only use one xvimagesink at a time. Most modern
hardware supports many Xv ports (16 or more), but not all (it's mostly
driver-dependent).
