ffmpeg gets an error code back from the operating system that it is running on, and that is what is being displayed.

It doesn't know if it's writing to a local filesystem, a network filesystem, a pipe, a fifo, or even what OS might be implementing the POSIX API that it is using.

In this regard, ffmpeg is no different than any other application for developed against the POSIX API.

Unfortunately this is confusing at times, if you are running on linux, you may want to look at /var/log/messages or similar when you get unexpected behavior from an application.

Regards,
Ben
