Putting Video Frames Into a Buffer for Appsrc

[Josh Doe]

Any particular reason you're not using the decklink source element in
gst-plugins-bad?
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-plugins-bad/tree/sys/decklink

I'd be interested to know, because I'm about to work with a Blackmagic
Design DeckLink Studio 2 card and was planning to use this element.

Thanks,
-Josh
