What have you managed so far? I would approach the problem in the
following order:

1. Get GStreamer capturing video from the camera, using gst-launch on
the command line, piping the video to an ximagesink.

2. Get GStreamer streaming the same video to the website.

3. Get GStreamer transcoding the video to an ximagesink.

4. Get GStreamer streaming the transcoded video to the website.

Which of these steps have you accomplished so far? Can you show us the
gst-launch command-lines you are using?

Cheers
Dave.
