And ffmpeg correctly tells you: No input devices.

Which is pretty obvious, because of the way you built your ffmpeg:

>   configuration: --enable-nonfree --enable-gpl --enable-version3 --enable-postproc --enable-swscale --enable-avfilter --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libvorbis --enable-libtheora --enable-libfaac --enable-libxvid --enable-libx264 --enable-libvpx --enable-hardcoded-tables --enable-shared --enable-pthreads --disable-indevs

Do you see that very last option? "--disable-indevs"
What were you trying to achive when using it?
