Hi Timothy

 I think it's apparent in the portion of my post you quoted 
that I was refering to the combination of GiP 2.97 + FFmpeg 0.8.18, 
which is the one that does not work; 
GiP 2.96 (used by OP prior to updating to 2.97) 
does not pass -stats to FFmpeg 0.8.18, 
so - as you point - remuxing works. 

BTW, all credit goes to you for initially spoting 
the offending switch in the FFmpeg remuxing command.

Best regards, 
Vangelis.
