Put your various parts one after the other and you'll see your (syntax)
error :

filesrc ! matroskademux name=d
ffmux_mp4 name=m ! filesink

Now you want to connect the two together.
 matroskademux has pads with names 'video_%02d' or 'audio_%02d', that
means that the first audio and video pad will be video_00 and audio_00.
 Using the same logic for ffmux_mp4, we have video_00 and audio_00

 Which gives us :

d.video_00 ! queue ! m.video_00
d.audio_00 ! queue ! m.audio_00


  I'll let you figure out where your errors were and reconstruct the
whole pipeline.
