This repository contains a Node.js script that allows you to download a YouTube video and its corresponding audio, and merge them into a single video file.
Before using this script, make sure you have the following dependencies installed:
- ytdl-core: A library for downloading YouTube videos.
- fluent-ffmpeg: A library for manipulating audio and video files.
- fs: A built-in Node.js module for interacting with the file system.
You can install these dependencies by running the following command:
npm install ytdl-core fluent-ffmpeg fs
To download and merge a YouTube video, follow these steps:
-
Import the
downloadAndMergeVideo
function from the script:const { downloadAndMergeVideo } = require('./youtube-downloader.js');
-
Call the
downloadAndMergeVideo
function, providing the YouTube video URL and the desired output file path:downloadAndMergeVideo('https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQGExxX_BpA', 'merged_video.mp4');
-
Run your script:
node your-script.js
The script will download the video and audio files. However, please note that there might be occasional issues with merging the audio and video using the fluent-ffmpeg
library. From a developer perspective, it is important to address these potential problems in order to combine the videos and their corresponding audio correctly. You may need to investigate and troubleshoot the fluent-ffmpeg
library or consider using an alternative library that provides reliable merging capabilities.
As a developer, it is crucial to ensure that the merging process of the video and audio files is seamless and reliable. If you encounter any issues with the fluent-ffmpeg
library, it is recommended to take the following steps:
- Verify that the video and audio files are in a compatible format and meet the requirements of the
fluent-ffmpeg
library. - Consider exploring alternative libraries or frameworks that specialize in video/audio manipulation and have a more robust merging functionality.
By addressing these considerations and ensuring the stability of the merging process, you can create a reliable YouTube video downloader and merger.
Good luck ALI ๐
