looks fine, but aborts with:

looks fine too.
No clue why it's crashing for you.
Does the Vapoursynth preview work properly?

As a side note:
Seeing that the source was detected as bt709 and you applying ColorMatrix with values that convert from Rec.601 (470bg) to Rec.709 (709) seems wrong.

My guess would be that it is because you disabled signaling the colorMatrix, thus the decoder needs to guess, but it's your encode and your settings, it's just something that seems wrong to me.

You must have disabled it since normally the calls Hybrid uses all include '--colormatrix ...', and your call doesn't.
