Using Gstreamer, take a h264 stream from a Logitech c920, preview it on the display and save it to a file along with the webcam audio.

Hello chickenrun525,
I am trying to do the same. I have a logitech c920 and I am usung Ubuntu 14.04 but when I run your command I get a static image displayed (not a video stream) and nothing is saved into the file location. I see a lot of ways of doing this with gstreamer-0.10 and this example for gstreamer-1.0 is not working. I am interested only in the video, so I dont need the audio part.

My gstreamer version:
gst-launch-1.0 version 1.2.4
GStreamer 1.2.4
