Hi Luke, Looking at the post you made on the Ubuntu forums have you tried using a pipeline with a filesink instead of an xvimagesink? Something like:
gst-launch v4l2src device=/dev/video0 ! ffenc_mpeg2video ! ffmux_mpegts ! filesink location=hello.mpg Also what does it print out when you run: vl4-info /dev/video0 or wherever the webcam happens to load to?
