As Ryan pointed out, you are probably not using key frames correctly,
and perhaps have only one keyframe in the whole output file. If you had
attached the full uncut console output of your ffmpeg command, we
perhaps could have identified that. Please always do so.

OTOH, I tried for myself, and got more than one key frame, despite the
command line argument.

Please, first and foremost, try a new version of ffmpeg first. This one
is 15 months old, and a lot of work goes into ffmpeg in the run of 15
months. If your issue turns out to be a bug and not a usage issue, it
would be annoying to have debugged such an outdated version of the
tool.
