title: ffmpeg - Invalid report file level (windows)
body: <p><code>ffmpeg</code> is giving me an error and I couldn't get much help googling it, besides a <a href="https://lists.ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-user/2014-June/022084.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">thread on ffmpeg mailing list</a> dated 5 years ago which doesn't address the exact same problem.</p>
  
  <p>No matter which <a href="https://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">ffmpeg version or build for windows</a> I use, the error is always:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
  <pre><code>c:\&gt;ffmpeg.exe
  Invalid report file level
  </code></pre>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I've been using <code>ffmpeg</code> on the same computer for years and I've no idea where the problem started and how to debug it. Any help is welcome.</p>
