Please show us the full, uncut console output. It contains valuable
information (especially about the detection of the input and the
configuration of the output formats/codecs).

Furthermore, you are using two inputs (tcp://localhost:5624?listen=1
and stdin). Can you reproduce this problem with just your stdin? If so,
please show us that command line and the complete console output.

That "fps=" is the number of frames per seconds ffmpeg is sending to
its output. In certain situations, and with "-re", that may very well
correspond to the input frame rate.

I think the first task would be to determine whether your stdin
actually can deliver your desired 25 fps, but show us your console
outputs first please.
