Limiting the resolution to max 32x32 would break real samples
for example V-codecs/mv30.avi

if you suggest to limit it only for the fuzzer, well, that would not
fix the timeout outside the fuzzer.
For some decoders limiting the resolution in the fuzzer is the only practical
option. But for mv30 this timeout really occurs because the input is not
checked/validated.
