Hi Jim,

I tried that and found no Joy. Via indentation, the documentation 
(https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-all.html#minterpolate) strongly implies that ‘mc_mode’ & ‘me_mode’ & 'me' 
are all arguments to 'mci', but that's obviously wrong. <sigh>

Based on a different error message during my stumbling, I also tried 
'fps=60000/1001:mi_mode=mci(mc_mode=obmc):scd=fdiff:scd_threshold=10' but that didn't work either.

I'm getting so tired of all the trial-&-error when trying to get commands to work. Undoubtedly 
whomever wrote the documentation knew what he/she meant, but it's a mystery to me.
