I am trying to play a video with the video TAG and all I get is black screen. How do I make my small browser use gstreamer to play the video which i have on the machine?

You shouldn't have to do anything if you have the necessary GStreamer plugins installed. Occam's razor suggests maybe you don't? That seems like the most likely reason for a black video. MP4 support is not present in CentOS for legal reasons, so you'll need to grab extra GStreamer plugins for that from somewhere else if you're trying to play MP4... I don't know where those might be provided for CentOS. Free formats like WebM should work out of the box, though. Try playing a WebM video and see if that works.
