Well STDIN.reopen is the line I isolated from inside the Daemons library 
that appears to be wholly responsible for my issue. I have no need of it 
personally except that I'm running DelayedJob, which is built on top of 
Daemons.

I have managed to further isolate the issue to the second ffmpeg command 
though. If I save the output of the first command (a log file with 
metadata), and run the second command separately with and without 
STDIN.reopen, I can reproduce the issue more succinctly.

Technically, I just don't understand the effect of STDIN.reopen well 
enough to see how it could affect the ffmpeg command, or how I can work 
around it all.
