a) you should add " -movflags +faststart" if writing to an mp4 file
b) always post the complete command _and_ it's output without -hide_banner 
c) always use the latest ffmpeg build for testing
(pls read the list FAQ- https://ffmpeg.org/mailing-list-faq.html

That could be expected, we don't know anything about your PC. Also, some

Probably not, you're changing the codec so have to decode/encode the file 
and that just takes time & effort.
