What's wrong is that ffmpeg assumes specific defaults for each output
format (container), and that's not rawvideo and PCM audio for mov. (Can
mov store rawvideo?) What you are doing with your flags is telling
ffmpeg how to interpret the inputs (which it might do well by itself
without these hints), not how to encode the output.

You need to use
  -c:v copy -c:a copy
or your particular -acodec/-vcodec settings _after_ all the input files
and before the output file.

Cheers,
