(Short answer: Use -vcodec copy)

The issue here is that "http stream" is not a 
"format" into which you can mux. And as we already 
discussed, you cannot mux every codec into every 
container (this has nothing to do with FFmpeg), 
particularly not raw video frames into mpeg-ts.

Generally, please don't ask "can I put VC-1 into 
mpeg-ts with FFmpeg?" but instead "I tried to put 
VC-1 into mpeg-ts with FFmpeg, please see my 
command line together with the complete, uncut 
console output below, but it doesn't work."
