nice

finally a way to download part of a youtube video.

very helpful to me.

example in link:

yt-dlp https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMOHrl_is4Y --downloader ffmpeg --downloader-args "ffmpeg_is 997 -to 2512"

can be modified to:

yt-dlp -f 244+140
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMOHrl_is4Y --downloader ffmpeg --downloader-args "ffmpeg_is 00:00:00.00 -to 00:06:00.00"

i have 2 questions:

1

how do specify your ffmpeg path?

2

should you add time before and after your initialbstart and end time to compensate for gop start and end times as they might not be on exact key frames for both audio and video?

you can then use ffmpeg to transcode the downloaded video to say prores profile 3 to cut the video to exact desired lengths while the audio and video remains synchronised

IN THE RESULUTION REQUIRED OR BETTER

say 1440p with out having the whole video be dowmloaded

WITHOUT HAVING TO RESORT TO PAYFORSOFTWARE.

nice to know
