  • Add support for downloading Test Part of kinetics dataset.
  • Test if support the newest kinetics-700 2020edition
  • Transfer from pytube to youtube-dl
  • Add support when the downloaded video is in mkv format not in mp4 format
  • Add metadata creation for successful downloaded videos and untrimmed videos[maybe caused by unsuccessfule downloading]

Usage

pip install -r requirements.txt

You should download and unzip csv files with links to videos. You can download such files here. For example here is link to kinetics-600 training.zip

Downloading

cd kinetics-downloader
python download.py /path/to/kinetic_train.csv /path/to/videos/

Downloading and trimming

cd kinetics-downloader
python download.py /path/to/kinetic_train.csv /path/to/videos/ --trim

Parallel processing

One can run downloading and trimming in several processes. To do so, just add flag --num-jobs with number of jobs running in parallel. For example:

cd kinetics-downloader
python download.py /path/to/kinetic_train.csv /path/to/videos/ --trim --num-jobs 10
