Solved ! 

This is the correct pipeline:
v4l2src device=/dev/webcam ! videoconvert ! video/x-raw,width=544,height=288,framerate=10/1 ! tee name=t ! queue ! v4l2h264enc ! h264parse ! mp4mux ! filesink location=video.mp4 t. ! queue  ! videoconvert ! pngenc ! multifilesink location=file%6d.png

 Hello,
I need to implement the following pipeline (successfully tested with gst-launch-1.0 -e) using C API:

v4l2src device=/dev/webcam ! videoconvert ! video/x-raw,width=544,height=288,framerate=10/1 ! tee name=t ! queue ! v4l2h264enc ! h264parse ! mp4mux ! filesink location=video.mp4 t. ! queue ! decodebin ! videoconvert ! pngenc ! multifilesink location=file%6d.png
The C code used for GstElements declaration and pipeline initialization is the following:
typedef struct _CustomData
{
    GstElement *pipeline;
    GstElement *v4l2src;
        
    GstElement *tee;
    // connect this pad to v4lserc
    GstPadTemplate *teepadtmplate;
    
    // tee src pads
    GstPad *teeSrcVPad;
    GstPad *teeSrcIPad;

    // queues sink pads
    GstPad *vQueueSinkPad;
    GstPad *iQueueSinkPad;

    GstElement *vQueue;
    GstElement *iQueue;

    GstElement *decodebin;
    GstElement *pngenc;

    GstElement *vVideoconvert;
    GstElement *iVideoconvert;

    GstElement *capsfilter;
    GstCaps *caps;
    GstElement *v4l2h264enc;
    GstElement *h264parse;
    GstElement *mp4mux;

This code is inspired from the tutorial
 https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/documentation/tutorials/basic/short-cutting-the-pipeline.html

But I cannot understand why it fails. What's wrong with it ?
Thank you in advance for your help.Simon
