[gst-devel] how to determine fps of a camera pipeline

[Florent]

Indeed, advised/requested fps might not always be the real one. For
measuring it, i use a trick: i place a videorate with arbitrary caps
after the source, and measure the dropped/duplicated frames to
determine the real framerate. You can see and exemple at [1].

I recall there was a developer plugin on it's way used to
display/measure the real framerate, but i don't remember.
