1) I don't think you need the ffmpegcolorspace ! videoscale, playbin2
should plug those already. But of course the don't hurt.

2) There should be commas before width=300 and height=200

3) try sync=true instead of sync=1

This sounds like sync=true might not have been set correctly, hence my
suggestion in 3) (also, the .dot file doesn't show that it's set).
