Description changed by Alan Piszcz:

Old description:

> I am unable to produced the mestimate value in the examples below.
> The output file test.txt is 0 bytes.
>
> The same test with 'signalstats' in place of 'mestimate' produces the
> output in the documentation.
>
> ffmpeg -f lavfi -i testsrc=duration=10:size=1280x720:rate=30 test.mp4
>
> ffmpeg -y -i test.mp4 -filter_complex
> "mestimate,metadata=printfile=test.txt" test_out.mp4
>
> ffmpeg -y -i test.mp4 -filter_complex
> "mestimate,metadata=print:key=lavfi.mestimate:file=test.txt" test_out.mp4

New description:

 The mestimate values for each frame should be written to test.txt.
 The output file test.txt is 0 bytes.

 The same test with 'signalstats' in place of 'mestimate' produces the
 output in the documentation.

 ffmpeg -f lavfi -i testsrc=duration=10:size=1280x720:rate=30 test.mp4

 ffmpeg -y -i test.mp4 -filter_complex
 "mestimate,metadata=printfile=test.txt" test_out.mp4

 ffmpeg -y -i test.mp4 -filter_complex
 "mestimate,metadata=print:key=lavfi.mestimate:file=test.txt" test_out.mp4
