Description
**Describe the bug**
While trying to create BT.2020 H.264 files with ffmpeg.wasm I ran into a case where the conversion succeeds, but the resulting file only has a thumbnail and doesn't actually play in media players.
**To Reproduce**
1. Load demo file
2. Paste the conversion commands below
3. Transcode
4. Download the result and try to play it
5. Note in Mac Finder it will only display a thumbnail and not actually play. In Chrome it does play.
6. Compare with this file: https://www.wide-gamut.com/assets/video-hdr/P3-GREEN-HDR-1000nits.mp4 which will play in HDR mode in Mac Finder.
