Failed without specific notifications for wrongly disabling autoscale.

Taking x264 as an example to transcode clips with resolution changing
from 352x288 to 240x196:

[libx264 @ 0x5559143d51c0] Input picture width (352) is greater than stride (256)
Video encoding failed
(This differs according to the encoder.)

BTW, it would be great if the patch set for codec flag and check could be applied at
the same time.
