ffmpeg sends some information to stderr not stdout. It looks the same on the 
console, but doesn't behave the same shell-wise. If you want to capture all of 
the console output you do do this:

$ ffmpeg [options and arguments] 2>&1 >> logfile.txt


2>&1 combines stderr and stdout into stderr, which is then appended to 
logfile.txt


if you wanted to have the output also show up in the terminal, you could use 
'tee':


$ ffmpeg [options and arguments] 2>&1 | tee -a logfile.txt


this will display the same, but also save a copy in logfile.txt
