time different elements of a pipeline?

[Rand Graham]

Hello,

I am running a pipeline with gst-launch. The pipeline does decoding and encoding. I noticed that gstreamer reports the total run time after it exits. I was wondering if there is a way to time how much time is spent in each element of the pipeline. Especially how much time is spend decoding and transcoding.

Can this be done from the command line gst-launch utility?

Thanks,
Rand
