Video Downloader

Installation

Use the requirements.txt file to install the required Python packages:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Description

This Python script downloads video content from a list of URLs provided in a .CSV file. Additionally, it also preprocesses the downloaded data using FFMPEG.

The .CSV file should have the following structure:

<URL>,<START_SEC>,<END_SEC>,<FINAL_VIDEO_NAME>
...

START_SEC and END_SEC are used by FFMPEG to trim the original video and extract the audio track. To configure the behaviour of FFMPEG use the auxiliary params.json. FINAL_VIDEO_NAME will be used to rename the downloaded/generated files.
