Bug Description

Taking pictures is no problem and I can see a preview of my webcam but as soon as I press the record button the preview just freezes and I end up with a 0 byte sized MPEG with the correct length of the recorded video. I am using the freya beta.

Update: Recording Videos with guvcview works fine. A proposed solution on the cheese forums was to reduce the resolution of the webcam and try again. But that is not an option because the option does not exist in snap.

Recording a video freezes the display and produces a empty file.
The following is written on the console

snap-photobooth:9111): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: gst_mini_object_unref: assertion 'mini_object != NULL' failed

When trying to switch to the photo mode, the app crashes.

Also you might want to display an error message when gstreamer error happens.
It helps debugging and reporting issue

Changing to video is now disabled in the source so this has become a feature request.
