Redirect console output into file

Hey folks...

I was just wondering why it's not possible to redirect the console output from the Windows CLI version into a textfile:

Code: Select all

MediaForkCLI -i "X:\Video_TS" -t 0 >Log.txt

After executing the command, MediaFork lists all the informations etc., but the Log.txt has the incredible size of 0 bytes...
Can anyone help me with this problem?

P.S.
Please excuse my bad english, I'm still learning...

EDIT: Could someone please move this topic to the Command Line Section?

Output from the CLI is to stderr, not stdout. Try 2>Log.txt.

Thanks a lot!
Um... is there any reason why the developers used "err" instead of "out"?
