 FFmpeg fails to convert a SER file to MP4.
 The sample file is size 400x300, 16-bit grayscale, 50 frames and can be
 downloaded here (about 12MB):
 http://www.astro-electronic.de/Moon_Test.ser

 The SER file plays fine with SER Player, but the MP4 file contains only
 noise.
 FFplay does play the SER file, but only noise is visible.

 This is the console output:
