web-to-webm

web-to-webm is simple, cross-platform gui tool for extracting clips from any of Youtube videos (and from many other supported services) and converting them to webm format.

Download

For downloads, visit Releases page: https://github.com/solusipse/web-to-webm/releases/latest. There are Windows (64 and 32 bit) and OS X (64 bit) releases.

If you are on Linux, follow these steps:

1. Build web-to-webm (see Building section).

2. Install youtube-dl (download page):

   • sudo curl https://yt-dl.org/downloads/2015.02.10.3/youtube-dl -o /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl
   • sudo chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl

3. Install ffmpeg via your package manager.

Usage

Time format

Format is derived from ffmpeg. You have to use colons as separators. There are three options:

• just seconds (ss - ss, e.g. 5 - 35),
• minutes and seconds (mm:ss - mm:ss, e.g. 15:00 - 15:25),
• hours, minutes and seconds (hh:mm:ss - hh:mm:ss, e.g. 02:05:00 - 02:05:30).

You can mix these standards (e.g. 55 - 01:15 which is equivalent of 00:55 - 01:15 or 55 - 75).

Interface

Building

You need QT5 to build this software. To build web-to-webm, type these commands:

1. qmake-qt5 web-to-webm.pro,
2. make.

On Windows and Mac OS X it will be probably easier to use QT Creator (open .pro file to start).

Supported sites
