In case someone else has the same problem, I found the solution. I started gstreamer-properties and changed the Video default output from Automatic to X window system (No xv). This fixed it. When you test the setting from within the gstreamer-properties app, you should be able to see the difference between the different settings very clearly. I guess Automatic choose the wrong setting in my case.
