This is how my cutyoutube.bat looks like: Is there a better alternative? I don't think yt-dlp has partial download feature, and I don't think ffmpeg can do concurrent/parallel download to get around the throttling issue. This means that depending on the numbers, sometimes it's faster to just download the entire thing with yt-dlp, then use ffmpeg for 'offline' post-processing. The problem is that now those URLs are throttled, so ffmpeg downloads at as low as 0.2x speed sometimes. I've previously used youtube-dl -g to get the data stream URL for a YouTube video I'm interested in, then use ffmpeg -i on that URL with -ss and -t to only download a portion of the video (so if I want to grab a 10 second fragment from a 10 hour video, I wouldn't have to download the entire thing first). 1) is able to decode and encode without problem (ffmpeg-vsync 0 -hwaccel cuvid -c:v h264cuvid -i input To do this, a H265 to H264 converter is in demand Many applications like FFmpeg decoder, FFmpeg fork, Windows.
