Run ffmpeg without outputting configuration information?

I'm invoking ffmpeg with subprocess.Popen, and trying to capture the stderr output and write it to logging.

args = ['ffmpeg', '-i', path]
if start:
    args += ['-ss', start]
if end:
    args += ['-t', end]
args += [
    '-vcodec', 'copy',
    '-acodec', 'copy',
    '-scodec', 'copy',
    '-f', 'mpegts',
    '-y', '/dev/stdout']
self.child = subprocess.Popen(
    args,
    stdin=open(os.devnull, 'rb'),
    stdout=subprocess.PIPE,
    stderr=subprocess.PIPE)

ffmpeg generates a lot of configuration information like the following:
