Windows complicates this a bit, and you haven't give much detail on the 
inputs and outputs.

It's possible that you could make this work on windows using powershell and 
'tee'; have one ffmpeg process write to stdout, pipe that into tee, and have 
tee writing into another ffmpeg's stdin. You'll have to experiment and do 
some research on the exact mechanisms (the sites superuser.com and 
stackoverflow.com are good resources for this).

Doing this kind of thing in a single command string seems a bit prone to 
error and breakage. Can you split the input (what is it??) and  feed 
separate muxer processes?

Later,
