Comment:

 (complete, uncut output missing.)

 To affect the output file (clip.mkv), -vcodec copy has to be put in front
 of it (like -acodec copy).
 The way you use it, -vcodec copy affects the input file audio.mkv (where
 it has no effect):
 {{{
 $ ffmpeg.exe -y -i video.mkv -i audio.mkv -vcodec copy -acodec copy
 clip.mkv
 }}}
