You can't feed an elementary stream directly into mpeg2dec; that won't
work. You'll need to use a parser, perhaps mpegvideoparse?

Generally, elementary streams are really uncommon, so there's not as
much effort put into supporting them - if it still doesn't work, then
a) you _need_ to tell us precisely how it fails, and b) you might need
to work on the parser a bit.
