Yes, you can use the -d option like this (performed on the trace in 
the below mentioned bug report:

$ tshark -r Wireshark-1.0.4_MPEG-decode-bug_20081119.cap -d
udp.port==80,rtp | head -3
  1   0.000000  10.199.0.54 -> 233.22.133.240 RTP PT=MPEG-II transport
streams, SSRC=0x0, Seq=18109, Time=3664199842
  2   0.003923  10.199.0.54 -> 233.22.133.240 RTP PT=MPEG-II transport
streams, SSRC=0x0, Seq=18110, Time=3664200221
  3   0.008133  10.199.0.54 -> 233.22.133.240 RTP PT=MPEG-II transport
streams, SSRC=0x0, Seq=18111, Time=3664200601
