Best tool for a casual user to remux and download videos? in c/opensource@programming.dev

It looks nice, but is it still open source?

That's alright, it started the discussion and I learned about the GUIs

~~VLC might work, testing now~~

~~It's slow to get started compared to ffmpeg~~

Convert and save grabbed the audio only, need to play with it more

TLDR: what tool will let a casual user to input a URL (to a disguised .m3u8 file) and get a .mp4?

Backstory, our school uses Panopto to record lectures. The web interface is crap, but I found a project that lets you download the video files as .mp4

https://programming.dev/post/21072323

that is until 2 weeks ago when Panopto started exporting the files as

  • 1 large .panobf1 file
  • 2 small .panobf2 files, a few bytes each

I can swap the file extension for the .panobf1 file to .mp4. This is enough 90% of the time. However, since this is the file with the classroom camera overlaid on the slides, it blocks the content in the corner.

Investigating the .panobf2 files:

❯ file master.panobf2
master.panobf2: M3U playlist, ASCII text

I ran this command on each .panobf2 file to download the classroom stream and slides stream as separate mp4 files.

ffmpeg -i <file-url> -c copy video.mp4

It's finals season and I want to make a new post to help people out. CLI isn't for everyone, so I'm looking for a tool instead

generative AI "helps" with this too

why deal with stackoverflow when you can brainstorm with a chatbot that replies instantly

You can download videos from Panopto and watch them locally in c/ubc@lemmy.ca

You can download videos from Panopto and watch them locally (github.com)
 

Link: https://github.com/Panopto-Video-DL/Panopto-Video-DL-browser?tab=readme-ov-file

Instructions:

  1. Install the TamperMonkey browser extension if you don't have it already

  2. Install this script from GreasyFork

  3. Open a lecture on Panopto, look for this button in the bottom right:

  1. A video will open. Download it with ctrl+S

  2. watch the lecture offline without having to deal with panopto's bs

Use the videos for yourself, don't upload them anywhere else. UBC will get yo ass if you do

The exact opposite of TikTok is reading a book in c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world
