Did gstreamer compile v4l2src? I believe this is required for the encoder to work. It doesn't look like your problem, but cheese needs gnome-video-effects and one of the effects uses the gstreamer frei0r plugin, which has a run time dep on frei0r-plugins. You also (probably) need libv4l2 and, if "xdg-user-dirs-update" hasn't been run, cheese will try to save images in the root directory, which prevents it from working.
