That's techically impossible, but *sigh* Why should an ffmpeg command line option influence the shell's behavior? With this command, I can reproduce your issue (ffmpeg trying to interpret spurious file names as interactive keys): $ rm -fv movie_*{mp4,mkv} INLIST; for i in $(seq 1 5); do mfile="movie_${i}.mkv"; ffmpeg -f lavfi -i testsrc2 -t 2 "$mfile"; echo "$mfile" >> INLIST; done; while read file; do ffmpeg -i "$file" -c copy "${file%.mkv}.mp4"; done < INLIST If I replace 'ffmpeg -i "$file"' with 'ffmpeg -nostdin -i "$file"', the issue goes away, and the shell is still perfectly capable of reading the list from stdin.
