Download VOD Separated into different files by Game #980
Comments
Can you provide a sample video? |
https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2080537125 This VOD for example has Goose Goose Duck and also Minecraft. I would want one download to be GGD and another to be Minecraft based on when the game is switched. I dont know how to write ffmpeg commands or use them thats why I am using this program. |
You can download the VOD by chapters using the
Or you can download the full video. It has the chapters already as metadata inside the mp4:
Some program can help you cut the video in pieces by chapters. But maybe you want |
If the chapters are (example):
You can use ffmpeg to crop without conversion, to match exactly the duration of each chapter. It's the fastest way:
The issue can be that the chapters don't start or end exactly at I-frames, so if you copy without conversion you should match I-frames (example) to avoid codec errors:
This video will not match exactly the chapter, and if the I-frames are separated by a lot of time it can be an issue because some content will be missing or misplaced (you can use next or previous I-frame so no content is discarded in any chapter). If you want to keep the duration exact, you have to convert, so I-frames are regenerated (change But maybe it's more stuff than you need, if you are going to use a video editor anyway and export, you don't need to complicate things. What you want to do by separating each chapter into a video (no conversion), has the issue that chapters don't start or end with I-frames (usually) so it's not as easy as you want to do. I don't now if Let us know more about what exactly you want to do, that could help other users too. |
This is something I have thought about, however the current enqueuing system would not provide an elegant solution. The current WPF UI is also a little cramped and I'm not sure where I would put video chapter information on either the VOD page or the mass downloader.
Solving #863 with #863 (comment) would make it feasible with minimal losses. |

I am an editor for multiple streamers and upkeep a number of YouTube VOD channels. But I dont just upload a full straight VOD, I cut the VOD into different videos by what game was played. 3 games in one stream? thats 3 videos. I see markers for when the game changes categories on the files when I drop them into my editor, but I usually download them as separate files by time stamp so I can keep track of what games I have not edited yet. It would be nice to be able to download a VOD and have it be made into separate videos based on when the game category is changed. If at all possible.
