There isn't really a way to do this using a single gst-launch command. The video decoder sends an end of stream event after the first video ends when you use multifilesrc.

If you are dead set on using gst-launch, you can wrap two gst-launch commands in a shell script:

#!/bin/sh
file1=$1
file2=$2

gst-launch filesrc location="$file1" ! decodebin2 ! autovideosink
gst-launch filesrc location="$file2" ! decodebin2 ! autovideosink

Another way to do this is to write a simple GStreamer application in C to create a pipeline for the first video, play it, create a new pipeline for the second application, and play that.

See the GStreamer application developers guide: http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/manual/html/

The section Hello World contains a functional example pipeline which I think would make a good starting point for you.
