As I have said here many times, it does not work correctly to resample the
video and not the audio (or vice versa). If you re-encode one, you must
re-encode the other.
Of course, copying both should work fine (and does for some folks here). I
suspect it's a software/configuration problem on the Windows side that
prevents it from working.
