Record at Constant Frame Rate
SoroKha opened this issue · 4 comments
Is there any way to record at a constant frame rate, instead of variable? Files are in variable frame rates, making them impossible to work with in editing software. Transcoding videos to constant takes far too long, wondering if there's a way to just capture them at constant in the first place, even if it sacrifices quality or whatever. Thanks.
I think you should ask this question to the Youtube-dl group (or Ytarchive). Because Live-dl records live streams by these.
Will do
Transcoding can't be avoided if the site only offers videos with variable frame rates. As your tool is aimed at YT only, I guess that is the case.
yt-dl doesn't "record" anything: it just gets whatever media file the site offers that meets the format selection option passed to it (or the default).
@sparanoid may wish to read and understand the Fine Manual so as to be able assist users of the live-dl tool.
live-dl simply uses youtube-dl (now yt-dlp) to extract videos from YouTube. There's no way we can do to change the way we extract videos. You have to convert them if you need different format/codec.
Just curious what editing software are you using? afaik most of modern editing softwares can handle variable bitrate.
