This command line makes no sense:
-vcodec copy tells FFmpeg not to decode and (re-) encode 
video but to remux the video stream. You cannot change 
the resolution when remuxing but that is what you 
request with -s.

When asking for help here, always post your command line 
together with the complete, uncut console output.
(And please don't forget not to top-post.)
