AVI-muxer bug?

[Nicholas Butts]

Thanks for pointing that out. I now have it working with either AVI or MOV
files, but my problem is the AVI or MOV files don't seem to be valid or
don't want to play back unless I call

gst_app_src_end_of_stream (GST_APP_SRC (source));

at the "end" of my data. The problem is the data will be continously written
until power is lost (this is an embedded device). I've tried setting the
faststart properity of the QTMux filter:
    g_object_set(G_OBJECT (muxer), "faststart", TRUE, NULL);

But that doesn't work either. Is there anyway to get the system to write
valid AVI or MOV files in a streaming fashion?
