You do: You posted mediainfo info for two files (the input and the output), and I requested you provide that with ffmpeg.

That is a question of encoding quality settings, not solely of codec parameters.

Data rate and frame rate are also encoding parameters.

Why do you want to keep as many parameters of the original video as possible?

Yes, that is a user error. You cannot change the contents of the video while copying, those are two totally different concepts. In other
words: Copying a video stream implies _not_ changing it at all.
