>>78229462well first, I've made mercy soundposts, including that one, but I am not the "mercyposter". That guy probably made other soundposts too. I already made a similar post before.
https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlphttps://github.com/argorar/WebMConverteryt-dlp is a command line utility, so to use it you will have to place it in a folder, open a command window (type cmd in search bar) and then navigate to the folder using:
cd filepath
easiest way is to put it in your username folder because that's the default location cmd is active in. files will be downloaded to the same folder
use this command to download a segment from stream:
yt-dlp.exe --download-sections "*00:00:00-00:00:00" LinkToVod
I would recommend downloading a minute or two window around the clip you want and to trim it down later
open Webm Converter, select input/output destination, use the processing features you want (trimming, cropping, etc)
set your encoding and advanced window up like this (just make sure high quality mode, which is 2-pass encoding, and vp9 are selected)
the only other thing you have to do is calculate the bitrate, which will be 32000 / length of video in seconds (I usually subtract a little bit, like 5/10 just to make sure it's under 4MB)
that's your video, for the audio:
after it's done encoding, re-encode the video with high quality mode and vp9 turned off (to make it faster) but with audio enabled this time
upload the video with audio to some mp4 to mp3 converter online, download it and now you should have both the webm and mp3.
To combine them, the easiest way is to just use the built in function in the sounds player. If you click the little down arrow in the top right of the player, you'll see a tools tab. Click it and scroll down a bit, there are fields to pick the video and audio you want to use and it will handle uploading the audio and naming the file for you. That's all you have to do.
The two main issues with using the webmconverter GUI over straight ffmpeg is not being able to directly make mp3 (that I know of) and having to load the entire video into the program (which is time consuming if your source is the original multi-hour VOD). I use a mix of both webm for lazys (say I need to crop something, it's a lot easier with a gui because to get the crop dimensions the easiest way I know is loading a screenshot of the video into gimp, it's kind of annoying) or raw ffmpeg (if I have a vod source and need flexibility)
Another thing the webm converter is really good at is cutting multiple segments together from the same video with the multi-trim option. This is actually kind of a pain in the ass to do in ffmpeg so if you ever need to do that it's pretty useful.
