ffmpeg is modifying shell memory?

[MisterE2002]

Summary of the bug: using ffmpeg in a bash script is changing the outcome
How to reproduce:
I am using this command:

./del.sh -d "/home/test/_TESTENDEL/"

In this folder are a couple of mp4 files.

if the "ffmpeg" line is commented the script works correct
expected output:

[test@laptop _SCRIPTS]$ ./del.sh  -d "/home/test/_TESTENDEL/" 
listing of list:
/home/test/_TESTENDEL/film2.mp4
/home/test/_TESTENDEL/film.mp4
INFO: processing file (1/2): "/home/test/_TESTENDEL/film2.mp4"
0
listing of list:
/home/test/_TESTENDEL/film2.mp4
/home/test/_TESTENDEL/film.mp4
INFO: processing file (2/2): "/home/test/_TESTENDEL/film.mp4"
0

if i enabled the "ffmpeg" line the script gives wrong outputs:

[test@laptop _SCRIPTS]$ ./del.sh  -d "/home/test/_TESTENDEL/" 
listing of list:
/home/test/_TESTENDEL/film2.mp4
/home/test/_TESTENDEL/film.mp4
INFO: processing file (1/2): "/home/test/_TESTENDEL/film2.mp4"
0
listing of list:
/home/test/_TESTENDEL/film2.mp4
/home/test/_TESTENDEL/film.mp4
INFO: processing file (2/2): "film.mp4"
1

notice, the path is dissapeared. Sometimes letters of the filename itself are gone too.
In some cases the loop itself refuses to iterate to the next file.
If i add more files all odd filename are wrong.

ffmpeg is doing something to the shell?

process "$DIR"

ffmpeg reads on its standard input, and in this script, the standard input is connected to echo "$list" |sort; therefore, ffmpeg is competing with read file for the output of sort.

By the way, I hope you realize that this script will break utterly when certain special characters. If you can not do your task with a simple *.mp4, then you should drop the shell and use a real language.
