Does this contain the value you expect? I mean does it contain 7974000
(or something close) that you say is the input bitrate.

What are the other encoding settings you are using?  Last I knew,
ffmpeg's defaults were bad.  If you tried to use libx264 as the encoder
it should spit an error message at you.

ffmpeg prints a very useful log when encoding.  Where is it?  Where is
the log from your code?
