... hi, ...yeah, i was going to make a little ps to my post to try to find an alternate method to your wxMediaCtl dilemma.... usually on linux, you run things directly... and i see you found some good code.

But I don't know how to embed it in wxPerl.

...possibly use Kbuntu's media controller?

....i havn't used Wx...i stick with plain Gtk2..... but there should be a way in the Wx design gui to do what is called an Glib idle_add or a timer to launch the code. ....i would launch it in a separate thread, or fork-and-exec the code, get the pid to kill it ... the thread is simpler, but fork-and-exec cleaner memory wise

on linux, you probably can embed the gstreamer object in one of your current windows, or just pop open a new toplevel window and display the imagery there

but this is something you should ask on the Wx maillist..... i'm just saying that gstreamer is a big lib, and interfacing is complex

here is some code that i used to use for experimentation..... it may be outdated as gstreamer is evolving fast 

gst-launch -v ximagesrc ! video/x-raw-rgb,framerate=5/1 ! ffmpegcolors
+pace !  mux. avimux name=mux ! filesink location=ztest.avi
mencoder -vf scale=640:480 ztest.avi -ovc lavc -o ztest.mpg 
rm ztest.avi

something like that can be run in a thread or piped-open....OR... you can try to use the Perl module interface to GStreamer.... but i would stick with the c program run thru ipc, so that memory cleanup is better

i mean, i have no idea of what your code actually does...these are just general design musings regarding linux guis

I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth.
