GStreamer Recording and Viewing Stream Simultaneously

! tee name=t \
t. ! queue ! x264enc ! mp4mux ! filesink location=xyz.mp4 -e \
t. ! queue leaky=1 ! autovideosink sync=false

tips:

-e (EOS signal): Pipelines for file saving require a reliable EOS(End of Stream) signal
queue leaky=1 ! autovideosink sync=false: prevent blocking
drop=true: drop frame if cannot read quickly enough
