Now I get my 16:9 copy of the video, but the bitrate is way too low
(about 400 kbps – the original is at 4000 kbps), so I tried this one:

ffmpeg -i Bkib.mpeg -b 4000 -aspect 16:9 -acodec copy Bkib-0.mpeg
Didn't help though. It still lands around 400 kbps.

From "man ffmpeg":

| -b bitrate
|  Set the video bitrate in bit/s (default = 200 kb/s).

Therefore I would try "-b 4000k".

He he he… ooopsie…! Yes, you are right, of course! For some strange
reason I thought that 4000 meant 4000 kb/s, not 4000 b/s… I'm not sure
why I thought that, maybe this article tricked me:

”So if we want to encode using the MPEG-4 codec at 1,200kbps video
bitrate and 128kbps audio bitrate, the command looks like this:
ffmpeg -i InputFile.mpg -ab 128 -b 1200 -vcodec mpeg4 OutputFile.avi”

Obviously there is a ”k” there at two different places, so it should be:
ffmpeg -i InputFile.mpg -ab 128k -b 1200k -vcodec mpeg4 OutputFile.avi
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯↑¯¯¯¯¯¯¯↑¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

In my case, 4M worked as well, which is a bit shorter to type than 4000k.

Thanks for waking me up!
