For future reference, here is the gstreamer pipeline I'm currently using to record videos (with audio) for YouTube: gst-launch-0.10 \ v4l2src ! 'video/x-raw-yuv,width=800,height=600,framerate=20/1' \ ! tee name=t_vid ! queue ! xvimagesink sync=false t_vid. ! queue \ ! videorate ! 'video/x-raw-yuv,framerate=20/1' ! queue \ ! mux. pulsesrc ! audio/x-raw-int,rate=48000,channels=2,depth=16 ! queue \ ! audioconvert ! queue \ ! mux. avimux name=mux ! filesink location=test6.avi For some reason cheese becomes slow for me when I start recording.

This weekend I've been messing about with gstreamer pipelines so that I can spam the world with YouTube videos. Go me! Let's see if it shows up on Planet Debian. Next weekend I'll be teaching my brother how to triage Debian GNOME bugs. :)
