This works I presume:

 gst-launch-0.10 playbin2 uri=rtsp://192.168.0.90/mpeg4/media.amp

?

Note that rtspsrc outputs RTP packets, which you need to depayload using
an appropriate depayloader (rtpmp2tdepay? rtpmp4gdepay? rtpmp4vdepay?).

Writing RTP packets to file like you do now is not going to work.
