Using testsrc and sine as inputs, I get something quite different:

[mp4 @ 0x9ca18e0] muxer does not support non seekable output
[...]
Could not write header for output file #0 (incorrect codec parameters ?): Invalid argument

Are you sure your ffmpeg has http support compiled in
("ffmpeg -protocols")? Are you sure "localhost" can be resolved on your
Windows machine? Are you sure you can open port 8080 for listening on
your Windows machine? (Most of these should produce a useful error
message from ffmpeg though - but I haven't checked the source to
confirm that.)
