Description

Summary of the bug:
Trying to redirect the output of ffmpeg (stderr) to a file in powershell results and an empty file. Doing the same thing in cmd sucefully redirects the output to a file.
This problem does not occur in older versions of FFMPEG (7.1.3)
How to reproduce:

ffmpeg 2> test.txt
ffmpeg version N-99959-g09f1d15ae8 Copyright (c) 2000-2020 the FFmpeg developers
built with gcc 9.3-win32 (GCC) 20200320

test.txt is empty when running this in powershell

Patches should be submitted to the ffmpeg-devel mailing list and not this bug tracker.

There is no version 7.1.3 and it is unlikely that the console output looks like the one you posted. Sorry

Replying to cehoyos:

There is no version 7.1.3 and it is unlikely that the console output looks like the one you posted. Sorry

That's becouse there is no console output since I'm triying to Redirect the output but I only get an empty file as as an output. Sorry for using the wrong formating and making it look like there was a console output.
This is the old build a I was using that did NOT have the problem (it's no longer online outside of web archive) with this build I can redirect the output to a file (the output in the file is just the error Message for not specifiying any input): https://web.archive.org/web/20190426212558/https://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/win64/shared/ffmpeg-4.1.3-win64-shared.zip
This is called version 4.1.3 don't know if has another name or something but clearly there is a version 4.1.3
Both the latest realease build from gyan.dev (4.3.1) and latest dev build from BtBn (ffmpeg-N-99959) do have the issue with them it just creates an empty file with no output whatsoever when trying to redirect output in powershell.
I hope this is enough information do I need to try every version to find out which version this firt happend in or build it myself or something?
