No problem - without your help I would be completely stuck and end up being
forced to do something drastic like hunt around in the source code before
giving up!

No, it doesn't. It gives me the usual link error:

D:\Camera\Common\GStreamer\bin>gst-launch-0.10.exe -v dshowvideosrc !
"video/x-dv, systemstream=false, width=640, height=480, framerate=30" !
fakesink
WARNING: erroneous pipeline: could not link dshowvideosrc0 to fakesink0

Ok, thanks.

Good idea with the ffdemux_dv. The command you suggested didn't quite work,
but once I added the dv decoder you suggested in a previous email and added
a deinterlacer I managed to get something to display, although I ended up
with a pretty bad 0.5-1 fps. Could I be doing something wrong?

Thanks,

Phil

Without the decoder (runs straight through with no visual output):

With the decoder and deinterlacing (NOTE: there are no errors until I close
the window):
