I hope you don't think I'm rejecting VanillaMozilla's insights. I'm just a user suffering from this issue too... see #13 above.
I agree '-show-banner' would be preferable. Why don't you file a bug at the ffmpeg bug tracker requesting it? https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ (Leave a note here if you do.) For anyone who isn't aware of 'bash aliases', they are a way of making the workaround permanent. It is *really* easy to create one. I'm following this example.[1] Using a text editor append this to the bottom of the hidden file '~/.bashrc' and save it: alias ffmpeg='ffmpeg -hide_banner' Then enter this in the terminal and hit return: . ~/.bashrc (Note the space between the '.' and '~/.bashrc'.) Now every time you run 'ffmpeg' it will automatically run 'ffmpeg -hide_banner' for you. No more ffmpeg spam in your terminal and you don't have to remember to use the -hide_banner option.
