[FFmpeg-user] Output 10bit DNxHD in a .MXF container

I'm trying to output a 10bit DNxHD.mxf, but FFMPEG is saying I have
incorrect parameters:

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


The source files are always 10bit ProResHQ.mov.

Please see the full command statement and output below.

Can someone please help me troubleshoot this problem?
