The Blackmagic cards have a fairly constrained set of modes which are supported 
(see the definition of BMDDisplayMode in the Decklink SDK documentation).  
Neither of the modes you mentioned are available for output, although I’m not 
sure what st->codecpar->width would be set to if swscale is used between the 
decoder and the output.

Bear in mind, I’m not particularly happy with how that block of code is done 
either (which is why I marked it with a FIXME), but it’s probably good enough 
for 95% of use cases.
