Thank you, man! I have spent the last couple of days trying to figure this out. I've read all sorts of guides, and tried various command lines that others recommended and none of it was working for me. Your method worked like a charm for the first two videos I've tried, and I can only assume I will continue having such success. Thanks a lot for ending a long battle I was having against ffmpeg. :) Eureka!
