Prerequisites for Using youtube-dl GUI Appsīefore you try some of the options mentioned below, you may need to have youtube-dl and FFmpeg installed on your system to be able to download / choose different format to download. The good thing is that there are a few applications that provide GUI frontend for youtube-dl tool. Using youtube-dl is not that complicated but I understand that using commands for such tasks is not everyone’s favorite way. It is a very useful command-line tool that lets you download videos from YouTube and some other websites. The "-copyts" flag means it will copy timestamps, which should help with syncing audio and video.Įcho =Įcho Flv to Mp4 batch script using ffmpeg v1.0Įcho Press any key to start the batch processįor %%f in (*.flv) do ffmpeg -i "%SourceDir%\%%f" -c copy -copyts "%TargetDir%\%%f.If you’ve been following us, you probably already know that youtube-dl project was taken down temporarily by GitHub to comply with a request.Ĭonsidering that it’s now restored and completely accessible, it is safe to say that it not an illegal tool out there. The "-c copy" means it will just copy the audio and video tracks without re-encoding them. Method seems simple enough via FFMpeg for a single video.įfmpeg -i %1 -c copy -copyts %1.mp4įfmpeg -i input.flv -c copy -copyts output.mp4 H264/ AVC A: AAC/ mp4aįrom these threads it seems, its better to copy streams from container without "conversion". So GUIs for FFMeg that have Batch with VISIBILITY or Other non FFMPEG - Batch processors with UI with Selection Visibility.įLV to MP4 Commandline w/o Reencode for FLVs of current collection V. But VISIBILITY & CONFIGURABILITY is key in the UI. Might have to be doing various "FLAVORS" of conversions of X format to Y format. Ideally with UI that "shows the list of Selected Source videos" before the BATCH PROCESSING and maybe during/ after. Hence VISIBILITY of INPUT folders/ files and OUTPUT would be nice to keep track of. I will be doing it "small collections" at a time, would like to have visibility instead of a BATCH or SCRIPT running somewhere and having to be modified for every such collection.Ĭurrent INITIAL collections are FLV to MP4 - Some others may be different formats/ codecs later.

UI for Selection & Processing visibility on small collections, instead of a BATCH or SCRIPT running blind behind the scenes.īut I'd like to preferably run a BATCH of VIDEOS in Folder Trees through this process. GUI ways to Select + Batch process/ convert formats Videos in folder trees?
