Logitech C920 vidsrc syntax

[Andrew Silby]

I did try using uvch264src to control bitrate but from memory I don't think it worked on the c920/h264. That's why I ended up using v4l2src.

uvch264src is a wrapper on top of v4l2src that makes UVC specific calls to control the C920 encoder (e.g. bitrate). With v4l2src you won't be able to control the bitrate of the encoder. The Brio does not have an
H264 encoder.

When manually creating a pipeline, you need to add your GstElement to your GstPipepeline (gst_pipeine_new() -> gst_bin_add (GST_BIN (pipeline), element); You can use conveniances, like gst_bin_add_many() but be careful not to forget your sentinel (NULL as last parameter) or it will crash.

When this is done, you then need to link your elements. See gst_element_link/gst_element_link_pads(). To help debug your work, make sure to check all return values, including insuring the
gst_element_factory_make() calls worked, It's really easy to make a typo in a string like element name or pad name.
