We obviously can't support these third-party closed-source plugins. An
equivalent using open-source plugins might be something like this:
  gst-launch-0.10 filesrc location=test_5.mp4 ! decodebin !
ffmpegcolorspace ! videoscale ! xvimagesink

(internally, decodebin will be using qtdemux and an appropriate
autoplugged decoder).

If that doesn't work, then either you don't have appropriate plugins
installed, or there's something wrong with your file (or you've
encountered a bug - but that's relatively unlikely).
