SUMMARY
It seems if the window's height is not divisible by 2 libx264 fails to record
anything. At least that's the most prominent error in the log i could find. No
such issues occur with webm. I am not sure if this is a limitation of h264 but
if it is Spectacle should at least throw an error in the gui why there is no
resulting file at all.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a window like Dolphin with the height dimension not divisible by 2
2. Select Dolphin's window for recording
3. Wait a few seconds and press finish recording
OBSERVED RESULT
No file is created and there is an error in the logs
EXPECTED RESULT
Recording works or Spectacle shows error
