Sorry, I don't know what you mean.
As I understand it, you have a file that works, save for the last two
minutes.
If you remove the last two minutes of the file with ffmpeg, the rest of it
doesn't work?

If it's possible to upload the original file I can take a look, but
otherwise, all I can say is that the command I gave should work. You have
to figure out the length of the file, which you can do with ffprobe, then
use ffmpeg -i file -t (duration minus 120 seconds) outfile.

My suggestion would have only been to try the latest. :)

If you paid for that one, they may offer some form of support.

I don't know how subs are usually put into youtube videos, as I don't
download them often. The few that I have, anime, had them embedded as part
of the video. (which you can do by say, making an mkv container, then,
with various ffmpeg parameters making it into an mp4 file.)

There may be some other screengrabber that does it, or a better youtube
downloader. Sorry I can't be more help.

Thanks Scott for your reply; my script is basically the same as yours:

ffmpeg -f x11grab -s 1280x1024 -r 29.97 -i :0.0 grab.mp4

Playing around with the parameters changed little as far as the pixelation..
I fitted a PCIe video card instead of the on board and it may have helped;
but little.. I think the video information grabbed is before the cards input
though..

I see that "captions" means many things; embedded or separate tracks, etc..
So much to learn.. I, also, note that other "grab" programs don't print the
captions with the quality good, otherwise.. I suspect almost all of them
use ffmpeg as the backend..

Latest version I could find; didn't try older ones..

I have another issue with the 4kvideodownloader.com tarball that I bought
and should list separately..

Thanks again..

I haven't been able to duplicate your problem. I use something like

ffmpg -s 1366x768 -f x11grab -i $DISPLAY -f alsa -i default output.mkv

(I get the 1366x768 from xrandr)

However, if it's defintely giving that pixelation you're describing,
there's a few options. I don't know much about youtube uploading, so not
sure why youtube-dl wouldn't get the captions, whenever I've used it, say,
with anime, I've bee able to get my captions.

There's an extension for firefox, downloadhelper, that I have found useful
in the past.

http://www.downloadhelper.net/

Also, are you using the latest youtube-dl, that is, going to their site and
downloading it, or the one provided by your distribution? Sometimes, those
will be older versions and not work as well.

Depending upon what the video is, it may be available some other place
besides youtube--for example, if it's an anime, you may be able to watch it
on crunchyroll.

[LINUX_Newbies] ffmpeg x11grab flag?

 

Greetings: Trying ffmpeg's x11grab feature works well except for one issue;
at least to me:

The grabbed copy of a YouTube video is good except the picture quality that
appears as a mozaic of little squares; if that's the right description..

The reason for trying ffmpeg is that using youtube-dl d/l'd a good copy of
the video but would not copy the embedded captions.. :^(..

I've also been trying 4kvideodownloader; no joy so far with the captions..

Any suggestions?? TIA..
