If av_find_stream_info() is waiting for a whole GOP, then I doubt the
problem is in pix_fmt: if the problem was "pix_fmt == PIX_FMT_NONE", then
has_codec_parameters() would have been true after reading the first frame
(I think), so av_find_stream_info() would have not read a whole GOP.
I suspect the problem is in the width&height or in the time_base.
