I am trying to put together a gst-launch pipeline to play some AVI 
files.  I'm using

gst-launch -v uri=<my input filename>

And the errors it returns:
*** Message: don't know how to handle video/x-avi-unknown, 
fourcc=(fourcc)mjpg
ERROR: from element /GstPlayBin:playbin0: You do not have a decoder 
installed to handle this file.  You might need to install the necessary 
plugins.

So, which plugin do I need to decode this file?  I have browsed the 
plugins page, but can't find an mjpg capability.
