The option "-ss <time>" tells ffmpeg to seek forward to the specified time and 
the option "-t <time>" tells it how much it should use. An example:

$ ffmpeg -ss 30:00 -i video.mkv -t 5:00 -c:v copy -c:a copy -y part.mkv

Here ffmpeg will open the file "video.mkv", seek forward by 30min and then copy 
5min of video and audio into the file "part.mkv".
