It works fine for me but I'm on Linux. If renaming doesn't work, have you tried copying the new file over the top of the old one? I'm not familiar enough with Windows to know how to atomically overwrite a file. But I searched Google and found this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/167414/is-an-atomic-file-rename-with-overwrite-possible-on-windows It suggests there is a Windows API function called MoveFileTransacted() that you could use. I'm surprised just opening the file in read-write mode, seeking to the start, then writing your content doesn't work though. You might get a frame here or there with incomplete data but it won't cause ffmpeg to exit with an error.
