I had this problem running it under C# once. I can't remember what the
solution was, but I seem to recall that it was something to do with the fact
that ffmpeg writes most of its status information not to standard output, but
to standard error, presumably so as to keep standard output free for the media
data it's producing.
(If it has occurred to anyone that the 1970s punch-card model of data handling
which provokes this situation is no longer entirely appropriate for modern
computing, you're not alone.)

Hi Jim,
I ran it without redirecting the output and it worked. I prefer writing
all the output to a log file, but if it works, that is more important in
this case.
