Subject: refactor(encode): skip excluded codecs before format checks

Move the skip-codec check directly after codec detection, before
validating pixel format and frame rate.

This lets files with excluded codecs return early without requiring
additional probe fields that are irrelevant when the file will not be
encoded.
