Comment (by cehoyos):

 You have to read the messages that FFmpeg prints from top to bottom:
 {{{
 [h264 @ 0x2338760] error while decoding MB 64 57, bytestream -7
 [h264 @ 0x2338760] Cannot use next picture in error concealment
 [h264 @ 0x2338760] concealing 545 DC, 545 AC, 545 MV errors in P frame
 [h264 @ 0x2338760] AVC: nal size 0
 [h264 @ 0x2338760] no frame!
 }}}
 {{{
 [h264 @ 0x2338760] AVC: nal size 0
 [h264 @ 0x2338760] no frame!
 [mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2 @ 0x2336ae0] decoding for stream 1 failed
 [mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2 @ 0x2336ae0] Could not find codec parameters for
 stream 0 (Video: h264 (avc1 / 0x31637661), 1280x1024): unspecified pixel
 format
 Consider increasing the value for the 'analyzeduration' and 'probesize'
 options
 }}}
 {{{unspecified pixel format}}} is printed (which is correct) and a
 suggestion (that does not help in your case but in many other cases) is
 given. I don't see how this can be easily improved.
 Later messages are not necessarily relevant: There are many examples for
 error messages that are superseded by messages printer earlier.
