I have an application, running on the Playframework, which needs to encode some video files. I used

Process pr = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(execCode)

for this (and it works perfectly), but as I need both, the output stream and the error stream, I am trying to use ProcessBuilder (as is also recommended).

But I cannot get it to work (testing on a MacBook). Is there a fundamental difference between the Runtime method and the ProcessBuilder?

This is my code for ProcessBuilder (exactly the same code works when replaced by Runtime.getRuntime().exec())

    String execCode = "/opt/local/bin/ffmpeg -i file [...]"; 
    ProcessBuilder pb = new ProcessBuilder(execCode);
    pb.redirectErrorStream(true);
    pb.directory(new File("/Users/[...]/data/"));
    Process pr = pb.start();

This is the console output:
