Vaporsynth pseudo "slow-mo"

[Selur]

Output AVI (FFvHuff) - produces 23.974 stream with no "slow-mo" effect

Looking at the debug output I see why the 'slow-mo' effect does not work.
The encoding call:

"C:\Program Files\Hybrid\64bit\Vapoursynth\vspipe.exe" "D:\Hybrid_test\encodingTempSynthSkript_2020-10-26@15_09_28_9310.vpy" - --y4m | "C:\Program Files\Hybrid\64bit\ffmpeg.exe" -y -noautorotate -nostdin -threads 4 -f yuv4mpegpipe -i - -an -sn -vf zscale=rangein=tv:range=tv -pix_fmt yuv420p -vsync 0  -vcodec ffvhuff -coder 0 -context 0 "D:\Hybrid_test\input_2020-10-26@15_09_28_9310_03.avi"

does not set a frame rate when encoding to ffvhuff, which is why it uses 96.94fps.
-> will fix

Output mp4 - Crashed with exit status 0

This happens since encoding is aborted due to "y4m [error]: bad sequence header magic" which normally indicates that there is a problem with decoding the used script.
Looking at the script:

I see no problem.
Looking at the encoding call:

I see the problem. There's an unnecessary ffmpeg decoding call in the middle, which should not be there.
-> I'll try to reproduce and fix this. (would have helped if your debug output, would have also contained the job creation and not just the job processing)
