"Whenever students say they hate a teacher, usually it means that student is an idiot! You are seriously the stupid one here. 'The best way to deal with this'? Just answer the question in one go, you really are dumb. Seriously stupid. 'They annoy me and make me crazy'? If the teacher was really that bad, other students would also complain, to the other teachers; Alas that's not the case here, you just don't like getting called out, and you imagine they're harrassing you. You're a dumbass! It's their job to call you in class, it's not as if they choose to speak to such a shithead of a student, it's their job! It's your turn and you get called, and your smartass doesn't want to answer, thus you keep getting picked, do you get it? The best way to deal with it is to grow up and do your job, that's how I see it"Gundou Mirei

Does anyone have a good method of downloading parts of streams without downloading the whole source video? So basically only downloading the snippet you want for a clip.

Someone here recommended it before I've been using OBS to just record the parts I wanna clip. It's worked well with no issues so far and the quality is nice without having huge file sizes.

Well, the only issue with that is I want to clip multiple streams going back to 2021.

I may have to just suck it up and download all the VODs. I can at least automate the download and cutting of the clips with ytdlp/ffmpeg, just wanted to see if I could cut down on the time spent downloading.

I'm certain you can do this with ytdlp/ffmpeg, here's what I'd written down for myself to use with ytdlp at some point. I had used it with Twitch, but I assume it works with YouTube:
--external-downloader ffmpeg --external-downloader-args "ffmpeg_i:-ss 04:42:00 -to 05:00:00"

I looked into this more. Turns out ytdlp has a command "--download-segment". There is a forked version that can be used with "--live-from-start", too, that will let you clip live from streams.

Thanks all.

For that I also add --force-keyframes-at-cuts before -download-sections so it doesn't get a snipet of audio with a frozen screen.

If you have previously downloaded full streams and need just the scissors, Vidcutter does it quick and easy, so you don't have to use the craptacular photo viewer in windows.

There is a time code but its on my other PC. I have used it to download Kirsche streams when i only need the first hour or so of the stream. That way I can avoid downloading a 6-7 hour stream and just get the first 1 or 2 hours.
