I only looked through some as you posted the output of  loads of
videos!???? It might help to pick just one that fails, and copy paste the
complete terminal output of just that one to the mailing list. You will get
more help that way.
Anyhow it looks like a lot of these are successfully processing.
However, some of these are failing simply because your paths are incorrect.
It looks like you are only using the filename only, with not path, and
ffmpeg just can't find the file. This is probably because the file you are
trying to process is not in your current directory. I'm copy pasting one of
these examples

/bin/ffmpeg.d/ffmpeg -i FdaVGRew.mkv -vn -c:a libmp3lame -ab 320k -ac 2 -y

On a side note,  you seem to be getting a very verbose console display
which might be confusing matters. I think some keyboard shortcut causes
this to happen - it's happened to me by accident a few times.

Best,

Kieran.
