[gst-devel] Switching two video sources with input-selector

[Frans van Berckel]

Hi Guy's,

Did you take a look into the Gstreamer Gnonlin element yet?

http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/modules/gnonlin.html

More about: Using Gnonlin with GStreamer and Python. What is Gnonlin
exactly and how Gnonlin works!

Thanks,
