These video transcodes failed with "Error while opening encoder for output stream #0:0 - maybe incorrect parameters such as bit_rate, rate, width or height"

Event Timeline

The Ogg transcodes for the first file fail with a different error than is described -- something about truncating packets.

On the second file, the WebM transcodes fail, probably because of the known problem with WebM output in ffmpeg when frame rate is under 1fps.
