If you've redirected things you should be getting the STDERR output as well.

$ perl -E '$foo = qx{zsh -c "print I GO TO OUT; print I GO TO ERR 1>&2
+" 2>&1}; say qq{foo: |$foo|}'
foo: |I GO TO OUT
I GO TO ERR

My suspicion is that the output may be explicitly going to the tty instead of STDERR so redirection this way isn't going to affect it.

Update: Well nope, that's not it. Seems to capture things fine for me (OS X, perl 5.18.2, homebrew'd ffmpeg 4.2.1).

$ perl -E '$foo = qx{ffmpeg -f s16le -i /dev/null 2>&1}; say qq{foo: |

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
