If you are using dv1394src then I suggest you give a look at Boxtream
and Grabslides (both currently hosted at
http://depot.univ-nc.nc/sources/) which make heavy use of this source
plugin to produce things like http://tv.univ-nc.nc/conferences/ and http://tv.univ-nc.nc/cours/

Boxtream also has a neat GUI to test your own pipelines.
