    Complete, uncut console output missing.
    It is probably a good idea not to specify an output format "mp4" if the
    suffix of your output file is "mp4" (which implies the default output
    format "mp4"), specifying it makes debugging more difficult.
    Is "-framerate 29.97" supposed to have an effect?
    The reason I ask is that there is no output option "framerate" and
    that - most likely - the correct framerate is 30000/1001, not 29.97.
    The name of the option to force an output frame rate is "r".
    (I cannot know if you want your output to have the same frame
    rate as the input - in which case you should not specify an output
    frame rate - or if you need constant frame rate. To make this more
    complicated, FFmpeg's mp4 output only supports constant frame
    rate, so it may make sense to specify "-r 30000/1001" in any case.)
    

Thanks for looking into this.  We just want to match the frame rate of the input, so I have removed that flag as well as the output format flag.  Here is the new command and output:

ffmpeg -i hires.mxf  -s 960x540  lores.mp4
