Here's a code example that does something like this:
http://people.freedesktop.org/~tpm/code/test-backlog-recording-h264.c

You may need to modify it a little, like move the tee before the video
encoder and the encoder after the queue (it was meant to be used for a
case where the video comes in in encoded form).
