The dx9screencapsrc element may define caps for width and height, but your instance only accepts some values for it, you should see the values in the output of "gst-launch-1.0 -v" if you look close enough.

So requesting invalid values on the source element will make caps negotiation to fail.

What you really want to do here is to *resize* the captured 1920x1080 frame down to 1024x768 before encoding it, and that can be done with the videoscale element:

gst-launch-1.0.exe -v dx9screencapsrc ! queue ! videoconvert ! videoscale ! video/x-raw,width=1024,height=768 ! x264enc ...

Ciao,
