Problems capturing to PNG images

[James Cameron]

How I've done it;

- last element in pipeline is gdkpixbufsink

- get the pipeline bus, with get_bus(),

- connect a handler for the 'message' signal,

- in the handler, use get_structure().get_name() to check for
  'pixbuf', and if so call get_proprty('last-pixbuf) on the
  gdkpixbufsink element,

- in the main program, call pixbuf.savev to convert to PNG file.

Hope that helps.
