GStreamer can't decode Canon XF705 H265 10bit MXF video

[David Manpearl]

I have been unable to decode H265 10-bit MXF formats from Canon XF705 using GStreamer v1.14.1

My goal is to transcode into H264 with a GStreamer pipeline something like this (link to input video file is below):

gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location=A003C002H1901045W_CANON.MXF ! qtdemux ! h265parse ! avdec_h265 ! videoconvert ! videoscale ! video/x-raw,width=1280,height=720 ! x264enc ! h264parse ! queue ! mp4mux ! filesink location=video.mp4

Setting pipeline to PAUSED, PREROLLING ...

ERROR: from element /GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstQTDemux:qtdemux0: This file is invalid and cannot be played.

Additional debug info:

qtdemux.c(747): gst_qtdemux_pull_atom (): /GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstQTDemux:qtdemux0:

atom has bogus size 101591860

ERROR: pipeline doesn't want to preroll.

  

I have had similar errors with decodebin, qtdemux, mxfdemux, and avdemux_mxf as in the examples below.



Here are some of the pipelines I have unsuccessfully tried:
