Got it working…

It turns out that:
    'video/x-raw, width=640, height=480' ! \
Translates to:
    capsfilter caps='video/x-raw, width=800, height=600' ! \

capsfilter has a caps property which is easily set and capsfilter is applied
to the preceding element in the chain.

So at this point.
Any help or suggested best practices on changing parameters (width, height)
on the fly would be greatly appreciated.
