First, you'll need an app, since that's the limit of what gst-launch-
1.0 tool can handle. To me, the simple strategy is to keep the
recording pipeline separate. So you'd have:

  videotestsrc ! tee name=t
    t. ! queue ! glimagesaink
    t. ! queue ! appsink

  appsrc ! x264enc tune=zerolatency ! video/x-h264,stream-format=byte-stream ! filesink location=video.h264

And then your app will pass the samples from appsink to appsrc. You'll
have the option to make this callback based, blocking loop or a mix.
When you want to stop the recording you'd do:

  - gst_app_src_end_of_stream (appsrc)
  - wait for eos message and reset that pipeline
  - stop further samples.

And then to start again, you simply stop dropping samples.
