you can try this command:
gst-launch-0.10 -v v4l2src ! video/x-raw-yuv,width=320 ! identity !
jpegenc ! multifilesink location=tmp-%05d.jpg
it will produce for each frame one jpeg file. Watch out, it will produce
lots of files.
Attached patch is replacement for the last one. You do not need setting
trace option, it will print all we need.
