gstreamer using h264 encoding with small video size

I need to record a video using my usb webcam in my linux based pc. I found gstreamer with h264 encoding for lower the cpu percentage. But i am new to gstreamer so i had errors when running some gstreamer command. So, can any one tell me how to do that and give me proper command for gstreamer using h264 acceleration encoding. Thanks in advance.

Command Used:

gst-launch-1.0 -v v4l2src device=/dev/video1 ! omxh264enc ! qtmux ! filesink location=test.mp4

Setting pipeline to PAUSED ... Pipeline is live and does not need PREROLL ... Setting pipeline to PLAYING ... ERROR: from element /GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstV4l2Src:v4l2src0: Internal data stream error.
