Try adding an ffmpegcolorspace ! videoscale before the videosink. If
that doesn't help, also try a typefind element before oggdemux.

Sending raw video/pixels over the network is usually a bad idea. In this
case, you will not only loose the framing, but also the timing
information, and the caps. You can use a videoparse to work around that,
but it's not really a great solution. You could also use gdppay before
sending the data and then gdpdepay on the receiving side, that will
maintain most info (but the timestamps may need fixing up then).

Maybe you could describe the bigger picture of what you're trying to do?
