 Re: Can ffmpeg be used to grab cspan videos?
it is a little foggy in my brain stuff, but i remember cspan have 5-minute and 1 hour segments, and the flash player somehow splice in one of the 5-minute links at the point where a couple of the 1 hour links would have an interruption.
the 5-minute and 1 hour links seem to be all done automated from the live stream. sometimes for popluar video, cspan make a trimmed copy with no joints and only one file.
i doubt ffmpeg could mesh up all that seperate links, but maybe for the trimmed links.
also, i seem to remember that the frame rate seems like something 22.xxx but really it is not that, but rather 24.
you can remux them to mp4 but first trim off the ends where you see the pixelation. make the start trim right on a keyframe.
it was a pain i did this for some lecture that was in three files but it all work out without re-encoding, only joining and mux.
