I want to cut a video with optimally no recoding, or only a bit of recoding at the beginning and the end, or if recoding is necessary, only for the audio track.

I tried this:

$ ffmpeg -ss 00:02 -i 00078.MTS -vcodec copy -acodec ac3 -b:a 256k cut.mts

However, cut.mts contains only audio, no video anymore:

$ ffmpeg -i cut.mts

Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?
