Fail you got may be caused by wrong invocation of the function, but it
is right way to go. I encourage you to use this function. The same
about avcodec_copy_context() - it is right to use it, but not to copy
everything manually, as you do now.

You can take my remux app as an example. But watch out - it is not
general-purposed, but just for exact use case.

Also there's very simple skeleton of remultiplexing:
