ffmpeg low speed and wrong bitrate - ffmpeg

My goal is to compress video making it's bitrate lower.
For experiment I used following command
ffmpeg -ss 00:00:00 -i V.mkv -to 00:10:00 -c:a copy -b:v 7500k -maxrate 7500k -minrate 5500k -bufsize 1M V7500.mkv
1. What are possible reasons speed of conversion was close to 1.0x utilizing all 8 cores?
2. Bitrate of output video stream is about 4700 (5500 was set as minrate). Is there proper way to specify bitrate?

How to fix it? thank advance!
The audio file has two streams: an MP3 stream and a cover art image. By using -map, 2,, both streams are mapped. ffmpeg will then convert the cover image to H.264 as well but this is not an acceptable codec for cover art images. Since you presumably don't need the cover art carried over, don't map it. -map, 2, should become -map, 2:a,

FFMPEG "Segmentation fault" with network stream source

According to readme.txt that is packaged with the build from johnvansickle.com:
A limitation of statically linking glibc is the loss of DNS
resolution. Installing nscd through your package manager will fix
this.
Solution is to install and start the nscd service.
Alternative solutions:
Compile (see tutorials) your own ffmpeg (during ./configure enable gnutls, openssl, libtls or mbedtls for HTTPS support).
Use ffmpeg from your repository
Download the input file before using it in ffmpeg
Use IP address instead of domain name

Stream #0:0: Video: h264 (libx264)
This is the source video stream, which is already encoded with h264. So it’s unlikely that rawvideo will work. You actually have to decode the stream in order to encode it again.
As for why you can’t play it back in Windows Media Player, please check the H.264 encoding guide. By default the highest profile is used when encoding as h264 which is not compatible with every device and player. For maximum compatibility, add the following options:
-profile:v baseline -level 3.0

ffmpeg "Option preset not found."

I am trying to convert a .mpg to .flv with ffmpeg. On other servers I got it working but here with the ffmpeg clone (avconv) it just does not do it.
Originally I was working with libfaac and preset fastfirstpass but thats not available in this build so I switched to the experimental acc and preset libx264-fast_firstpass:
$ /usr/bin/ffmpeg -i /data/upload/videos/original/150128_Test_731_9d5b83.mpg
-strict experimental -acodec aac -ab 128k -ar 44100 -vcodec libx264 -pass 1
-pre libx264-fast_firstpass -b 512k -s 360x204
-f flv /data/upload/videos/encoded/150129_Test_731_54f06a.flv

Option preset not found.
What does the error in the last line mean?
I already made sure the preset libx264-fast_firstpass.avpreset exists in /usr/share/avconv/ and if I change it to invalid ffmpeg complains with Preset invalid specified for stream 0:0, but could not be opened., so the preset is correct.
Google does provide two results for this error. This chatlog and it's pastebin about live streaming with the solution to add -f flv and some russian page. Nothing helped.
Any advice?
I had a look ìnto this preset file /usr/share/avconv/libx264-fast_firstpass and there I found this wrong "preset" option. I delete it and now it works.
