Oh no D: why do people do that sometimes 3:

Aww well… thank you for letting me know. That’s unfortunate though :(

Turns out they were a spambot. They were sneaking offsite and sometimes blind links to games into edits of their posts or replies.

Aww no problem 😌

@davissgurban
Hey thank you :)
And 11 days later but welcome to Derpi 🤗

Still don’t understand why you wouldn’t just use yt-dlp

You can use Geekersoft Free Video Downloader, which is completely free and supports high-definition downloads.

Thanks for this. I’ll try it out :D

You can use Funimate Video Downloader as it downloads videos without any water mark.

Thank you 😀

Okie🙂

@lincolnbrewsterfan  
I can send you ffmpeg.exe and youtube-dl.exe if you want

@Rainboom Dash  
Thanks 😁

@Rainboom Dash  
Sure, whatever works. 🙂

@lincolnbrewsterfan  
I still suggest using youtube-dl  
I can make a quick 30 second video of how to use it if you want  
I can see pretty significant compression artifacts on >>2569619 AND the file size is significantly higher than just taking the 720p stream and audio directly  
and it does everything automatically… just one program to get the video and audio downloaded and merged in one command

@byte[]  
Alright byte. Thanks 😌🤗

I’ve filed a bug report about incorrect image metadata on upload. It should be fixed in a week or two, and shouldn’t happen again, even if you use weird software combinations to upload video files.

Found the solution at last. Used Easiest Video Effect 5.1.1. for Windows to merge the audio and webm video separated, which fixed everything! 😀
 
All good now. Just have to copy the sequence with the other videos. 😌

@Rainboom Dash  
Yeah I just saw the after waking up…😕
 
I’ll have to fix it.🥺

@lincolnbrewsterfan  
it didn’t work properly, you can’t skip through the video.. that part is messed up  
I still suggest just using youtube-dl to make sure it takes the raw streams from YT.. I tested it myself on that video and you can skip through just fine  
If you do use it just make sure youtube-dl.exe and ffmpeg.exe are in the same folder
 
edit: I guess it did take the raw streams BUT it did something weird with the metadata so now you can’t skip through the video and have to watch from beginning to end.. and can’t go back

@Rainboom Dash  
Thank you. 🙂 I’ll try that out at some point. 😁
 
EDIT: Finally found the solution. Used YouTube 4k Downloader, which automatically allows you to download directly from YouTube in WEBM. Should be a lot easier now.
 
Thanks for all your help guys!🤗

@lincolnbrewsterfan  
Byte isn’t talking about recompressing… you can download the streams off YT with something like youtube-dl and then post them to Derpi without recompressing, as long as it’s the webm/opus streams and it’s under 100MiB
 
So for that video you could download the 720p without recompressing… 1080p you’d have to recompress, though
 
Just make sure you download the audio stream as well.. and if you have ffmpeg in the same folder then if you download both the video and audio stream (-f 247+251) it’ll automatically put them together for you
 
 
So, put youtube-dl and ffmpeg in the same folder.. (I’m assuming Windows) open the command prompt, drag youtube-dl into it press space then paste the youtube link then press space and then in this case -f 247+251  
To see the streams just do -F (cap sensitive)  
By default it should save to the Windows user folder

@The Smiling Pony  
yes I know
 
Thanks 🙂

Split into multiple parts?
