why ffmpeg is not working in new installation - ffmpeg

I was working on live encoding from FFmpeg from last few days. One day I re-installed my OS and tried to run FFmpeg commands again after configuration. My publish points get in starting but could not started. Why? Am I missing any configuration required?
The command I am trying to run is:
ffmpeg -y -re -i D:\video2.mp4 -pix_fmt yuv420p -movflags isml+frag_keyframe -f ismv -threads 0 -c:v libx264 -preset fast -profile:v baseline -map 0:v -b:v:0 800k http://localhost/PPS/PublishPoint.isml/Streams(Encode
r1)
Output what I got in command prompt is:

Advanced Thanks.

I changed my devices as I was using HD Webcam replaced with simple devices and It worked fine.
So, I found one solution of this problem but can't say it is ideal.
Thanks.

ffmpeg video merging issues for videos recorded from andriod mobile phone

Following is the command I'm using:
sudo ffmpeg -i video1.mp4 -i video2.mp4 -filter_complex "[1]tpad=start_mode=clone:start_duration=15[tr];[0][tr]xstack=inputs=2:layout=0_0|w0_0[v];[1:a]adelay=15s:all=true[a1];[0:a][a1]amix=inputs=2[a]" -map "[v]" -map "[a]" output.mp4
It took a couple of hours to merge the videos. Original videos are 6 MBs in size. Merged video is approx 2 GB in size.
It is working fine with videos recorded from the iphone.
Update:
The issue is regarding different fps in different videos. If two videos are of different fps, then it is taking too long and eventually break.
Full log:
ffmpeg -i video1.mp4 -i video2.mp4 -filter_complex "[1]tpad=start_mode=clone:start_duration=15[tr];[0][tr]xstack=inputs=2:layout=0_0|w0_0[v];[1:a]adelay=15s:all=true[a1];[0:a][a1]amix=inputs=2[a]" -map "[v]" -map "[a]" output_ia_2.mp4

how to remove duplicated frame from 00:00:00,00 to 00:00:00,25 section not overall with mpdecimate filter?

how to remove duplicated frame from 00:00:00,00 to 00:00:00,25 (00frame ~ 25frames)section not overall with mpdecimate filter ??
normally H264 video have some duplicated frames on video start section ..
i have tried like this ,
1) ./ffmpeg -i cated_2-3.UMMJI.MTS -map 0:0 -c:v prores_ks -profile:v 1 -qscale:v 8 -s 1920x1080 -r 29.97 -top 1 -c:a pcm_s16le -map 0:1 -filter:a:0 "pan=mono|c0=c0" -map 0:1 -filter:a:1 "pan=mono|c0=c1" -metadata:s encoder="Apple ProRes 422 LT" -filter_complex "[0]split=2[a][b];[a]trim=end_frame=26,mpdecimate[a];[b]trim=start_frame=25,setpts=PTS-STARTPTS[b];[a][b]concat=n=2:v=1:a=0" -vsync vfr -vf blackdetect=d=0.1:pix_th=.1 cated_2-3.UMMJI_MTS_mpdecimate26_section.mov
and tried to check black_frame on out prores mov file
2)./ffmpeg -i cated_2-3.UMMJI_MTS_mpdecimate26_section.mov -vf blackdetect=d=0.1:pix_th=.1 test.mov
then , will be shown like below

as you can see duplicated frame just changed to black frame , not removed
this MTS file have 19 duplicated frames !
also i have checked in FCPX and count how many dupicated frame on out prores mov file ...
Use
ffmpeg -i in -filter_complex "[0]split=2[a][b];[a]trim=end_frame=26,mpdecimate[a];[b]trim=start_frame=26,setpts=PTS-STARTPTS[b];[a][b]concat=n=2:v=1:a=0" -vsync vfr out

FFMPEG failing to convert mov to flv

FFMPEG issue that I am not familiar with. seems to only happen with this particular file. Anyone by any chance can take a look at this long out put and provide any feedback on what might actually be causing this?

Your ffmpeg is really old
You can get a recent version for Windows at Zeranoe.
libvo_aacenc is crappy
It was removed from ffmpeg years ago. Quality was bad and it could not handle more than 2 channels. Update and use the built-in AAC encoder instead:
ffmpeg -i input.mov -c:v libx264 -crf 23 -preset medium -vf "yadif,scale=-2:720,format=yuv420p" -c:a aac -ac 2 -b:a 96k output.flv
This example downmixes your 4 channel input to 2 channels (stereo) with the -ac 2 option.
See FFmpeg Wiki: H.264 for video encoding info.

FFMPEG doesn't work with mp4 and stdout

I need to add text to mp4 video. If I write result to file then everything is OK, but I want to read data from ffmpeg stream.
I run command:
ffmpeg -i sample.mp4 -filter_complex "drawtext='text=\"Sample Text\"':x=(w-text_w)/2:y=(h-text_h-line_h)/2:fontsize=40:fontcolor=white:fontfile=TimesNewRoman.ttf:enable='between(t,1,5)'" -f mp4 -

It seems the problem is related to mp4 and "muxer does not support non seekable output"
Is there a solution how to make such text adding on the fly and return video as we have data and not to wait until all file is processed.
Thanks
You can't use MP4 with STDOUT. The MP4 container requires the encoder to go back and make changes to the beginning of the file after it is done writing through the end. Since STDOUT cannot seek, outputting media in an MP4 container is not possible with STDOUT.
You can use the empty_moov example ffmpeg -y -framerate 0.5 -pattern_type glob -i '*.jpg' -f mp4 -movflags empty_moov - | ffprobe -
-movflags empty_moov
Write an initial moov atom directly at the start of the file, without describing any samples in it. Generally, an mdat/moov pair is written at the start of the file, as a normal MOV/MP4 file, containing only a short portion of the file. With this option set, there is no initial mdat atom, and the moov atom only describes the tracks but has a zero duration.
This option is implicitly set when writing ismv (Smooth Streaming) files.

Frame rate very high for a muxer not efficiently supporting it

I got an error when trying to run the following command with FFMpeg:
-i "file1.mp4" -s 506x406 -b:v 2000k -ar 22050 "file2.mp4"
FFMpeg was stuck converting this video, which was just a 7Mb .mp4 file, for hours and eventually I had to kill the process.
The output error from FFMpeg is as follows:

And it just pretty much carries on like that until when I killed the process.
Can anyone explain to me what is going on here and what I can do to fix this?
Like the ffmpeg output said
Please consider specifying a lower framerate, a different muxer or -vsync 2**
Add -vsync 2 and problem will be solved.
Edit to add explanation:
The -vsync parameter is a video sync method. It determines the way in which frames are passed from the input to the output. Here are the possible options, taken from the current ffmpeg docs.
0 or passthrough - Each frame is passed with its timestamp from the demuxer to the muxer.
1 or cfr - Frames will be duplicated and dropped to achieve exactly the requested constant frame rate.
2 or vfr - Frames are passed through with their timestamp or dropped so as to prevent 2 frames from having the same timestamp.
drop - As passthrough but destroys all timestamps, making the muxer generate fresh timestamps based on frame-rate.
-1 or auto - Chooses between 1 and 2 depending on muxer capabilities. This is the default method.
(The reason for the multiple values for some of them is that it used to just be by number, and now it's by name. The numbers are still allowed to be used to avoid breaking backwards compatibility.)
The reason that adding 2 will help here is that it drops more frames and makes thing easier on the muxer. Downsides are, you may lose frames.
