I made the following pipeline:
gst-launch filesrc location=heroes.s02e07.720p.hdtv.x264-nbs.mkv !
matroskademux name=d  ffmux_mp4 name=m ! filesink
location=heroes.s2.7.mp4 d.video_00 ! queue ! m.video_00 d.audio_00 !
queue ! m.audio_00

I get a lot of warnings like

** (gst-launch-0.10:2695): WARNING **: Add decoder imc (86046) please

** (gst-launch-0.10:2695): WARNING **: Add decoder libgsm (86037) please

** (gst-launch-0.10:2695): WARNING **: Add decoder libgsm_ms (86049) please

but then I get

Ställer in rörledningen till PAUSED...
Rörledningen utför PREROLL... (pipeline is doing Preroll)

And this is all that is happening. The output file is 0 byte.

Is there an error in my pipeline or is there another problem?

I tried this on F8 wit Livna packages.
