This should be "||"

This message is confusing (it does not specify what the device is being
queried for: a supported video size? The latest used video size?).
What the code really does is to use the current device's settings (if a
generic frame size supported by the device is enough, this whole part of
code can be removed, because device_init() can take care of getting a
supported frame size).

BTW, since you are changing this code, I am wondering if
avcodec_check_dimensions() should be moved after device_try_init().
