Thanks. It's old settings that lingered.

The first six seconds are just black and then the video starts.
If I view it in Quicktime, there's a mosaic jitter in the beginning, 
like it's missing an initial keyframe.
So I'm a bit confused what to do here. It's clearly 19s of content. And 
the six blank seconds after ffmpeg transcode is according to Occam's 
Razor the -6 start thing.

Thanks,
Marcus
