Yup.  117000+ lines of output.  That would definitely exceed the cmd.exe scrollback buffer limitation.

For those of you that have found this topic years later, ExifTool 11.98 has a new -efile option that could have been useful for this.  It creates a file containing the names of files with errors and/or unchanged files and/or files that fail the -if condition.
