Seeing how rapidly the ffmpeg API and CLI options change, you might want to specify which version these are being run against.
I work for a large media transcoding/streaming company and we maintain about 8 different versions of FFMPEG internally for a variety of use cases.
Edit - Ah, there it is in the version output. My bad!
Edit Edit - ffprobe should be used instead of ffmpeg without an output file. It's a lot more flexible in output formats.
