ytsnip

This is a simple script that allows you to download slices from youtube videos. youtube-dl doesnt include this feature, but I wanted it for something. This is just a wrapper for youtube-dl and ffmpeg.

For video and audio:

ytsnip.sh URL Start_Time End_Time OUTPUT

For audio only:

ytsnip_audio.sh URL Start_Time End_Time OUTPUT

timestamps formatted as

hh:mm:ss or mm:ss

Example:

ytsnip_audio.sh https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXmngpprhVY 1:50 1:58 rusty

Notes:

• Curently, the audio script outputs in mp3 format, and the video script outputs in mkv format.

• The output directory is hardcoded in both scripts, so you should change that to suit your needs.
