Instead of using -vcodec copy -acodec copy, should I be (re)encoding it ?? Any other possible suggestions? I don't want to loose quality by reencoding if possible. Anyway, here is the command and output. Suggestions/work arounds most welcome. Thanks!

I don't know, but you might try putting the -ss and -t before the -i.  That sometimes helps I think.
