Error -5 is GST_FLOW_ERROR, you'd have to dig in the debug logs to find
the reason why this happens.

In your case the reason is that you try to pass a .mpg file (a
container format containing compressed media) to elements that only
accept rate video. That can't work and you'll have to use a demuxer and
decoder first, or use decodebin between filesrc and the queue.
