trying to get stdout from console to log

[georgetaupobungy]

Hey all, im new to autoit, and i have had a contractor develop a script for me.

Ive succesfully made  changes to it recently. But today i really want to be able to add a log for the console output... and a better error log.

The script is used to record video via ffmpeg on the command line.
