<p>Write incoming data to a series of sequentially-named files.</p>
<p>This element is usually used with data where each buffer is an
independent unit of data in its own right (e.g. raw video buffers or
encoded JPEG or PNG images) or with streamable container formats such
as MPEG-TS or MPEG-PS.</p>
<p>It is not possible to use this element to create independently playable
mp4 files, use the splitmuxsink element for that instead.</p>
<p>The filename property should contain a string with a %d placeholder that will
be substituted with the index for each filename.</p>
