OpenCV Error: Assertion failed (_img.cols == winSize.width) - opencv

Question

So I've been trying to run the command
opencv_traincascade -data HandsData -vec hands.vec -bg HandsNeg.txt -numPos 3641 -numNeg 2578 -numStages 20 -w 27 -h 48 -mode ALL -minHitRate 0.999 -maxFalseAlarmRate 0.5 -precalcValBufSize 1024 -precalcIdxBufSize 1024
and I get the error
===== TRAINING 0-stage =====
<BEGIN
POS count : consumed 3641 : 3641
OpenCV Error: Assertion failed (_img.cols == winSize.width) in get, file /builddir/build/BUILD/OpenCV-2.0.0/apps/traincascade/imagestorage.cpp, line 86
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'cv::Exception'
Aborted
I've seen suggestions around to change the positive image number, where I use 1043 instead and still get the same error. Then I also see suggestions of editing the source code. The problem is that I built OpenCV with yum and would like to not have to rebuild from source.
sudo find / -name imagestorage.cpp
turns up nothing.
I'm at a complete loss of what to do.
Additional info: Steps I took to get to this point
I created everything from some videos using ffmpeg. These were from a phone and VLC lists the info as
Resolution: 1920x1090
Display resolution: 1920x1080
The ffmpeg command was (replacing input/output with respective videos and locations)
steven ~/computer_vision $ ffmpeg -i videos/Not\ hands\ stuff.mp4 -y -r 40 -s 27x48 -f image2 NotHandsorFists/Negs-%4d.png
Files in Hands.txt are of the form
steven ~/computer_vision $ cat Hands.txt | head -n 1
Hands/LeftHand-0001.png 1 0 0 27 48
I compiled the vec file with
steven ~/computer_vision $ opencv_createsamples -info Hands.txt -num 3641 -w 27 -h 48 -vec hands.vec
The negative file is in the form
steven ~/computer_vision $ cat HandsNeg.txt | head -n 1
Fists/LeftFist-0001.png
and the working directory is
steven ~/computer_vision $ ls
Fists fists.txt Hands HandsData HandsNeg.txt Hands.txt hands.vec NotHandsorFists NotHandsorFists.txt videos
Edit:
I've tried changing png to jpg and bmp to get rid of the channels. No help.
