[Dani A]

Error while opening encoder for output stream #0:0 - maybe incorrect parameters such as bit_rate, rate, width or height

below is the full output for command

ffmpeg -i countdown.mov -vf "scale=640x360,setdar=16:9" -c:v libx264 -profile:v main -crf 23 -preset veryfast -movflags faststart countdown.mp4
