Firefox: how can I see the little box with out the trash?
Hi All,
Firefox Chicago Bears vs Green Bay Packers Full Game HD https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHIuIH9X_VQ Now this is annoying. Is there an add-on or other way that will allow me to see just the game and not the graphics trash on the sides? Many thanks, -T |

Many thanks, -T I'm the last person to ask how to do this, as I don't have a "large collection of downloaders". However, a previous Linux experiment, just to see how it works, shows how you can get the content, so you can work on it. Basically, this package is updated daily (to counter the latest counter-measures). You can certainly install the package from your Package Manager, but then it's a good idea to update the software directly from the developer site. There may be an update feature in the software somewhere, to ensure you get it. The stuff in the next section, shows typical technique. You first ask what formats the vid is available in. Then select a high quality one. Then request that specific format with the downloader. Two commands total. Then sit back... and wait. I think you've probably already downloaded your share of vids, and so your question was just rhetorical. You'll never get rid of junk on sites like this, like the pop-in-front adverts every ten minutes and so on. So while that pattern on the periphery of the video is bad, the pop-in-front is much worse. Once you've received the video, take it into your favorite video editor, apply a crop box around the "good part" and toss that acid-trip crap on the edges to NUL (we are on a Windows group after all). ******* youtube-dl --list-formats https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyQUCYl-ocs [youtube] wyQUCYl-ocs: Downloading webpage [youtube] wyQUCYl-ocs: Downloading video info webpage [youtube] wyQUCYl-ocs: Extracting video information [youtube] wyQUCYl-ocs: Downloading js player vflmw6aFG [youtube] wyQUCYl-ocs: Downloading MPD manifest [info] Available formats for wyQUCYl-ocs: format code extension resolution note 139 m4a audio only DASH audio 48k , m4a_dash container, mp4a.40.5@ 48k (22050Hz), 1.90MiB 249 webm audio only DASH audio 60k , opus @ 50k, 2.03MiB 250 webm audio only DASH audio 79k , opus @ 70k, 2.52MiB 171 webm audio only DASH audio 91k , vorbis@128k, 3.19MiB 140 m4a audio only DASH audio 128k , m4a_dash container, mp4a.40.2@128k (44100Hz), 5.06MiB 251 webm audio only DASH audio 156k , opus @160k, 5.50MiB 160 mp4 192x144 DASH video 85k , avc1.4d400b, 25fps, video only, 3.30MiB 133 mp4 320x240 DASH video 204k , avc1.4d400d, 25fps, video only, 7.50MiB 17 3gp 176x144 small , mp4v.20.3, mp4a.40.2@ 24k 36 3gp 320x240 small , mp4v.20.3, mp4a.40.2 18 mp4 320x240 medium , avc1.42001E, mp4a.40.2@ 96k 43 webm 640x360 medium , vp8.0, vorbis@128k (best) To download in a specific format: youtube-dl --format 251 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyQUCYl-ocs ******* HTH, Paul |

Firefox Doesn't matter. If you had tested in other web browsers, you'd have seen the same garbaged video. Chicago Bears vs Green Bay Packers Full Game HD https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHIuIH9X_VQ Now this is annoying. Is there an add-on or other way that will allow me to see just the game and not the graphics trash on the sides? I doubt this video consists of 2 separate video streams. Some videos will have multiple streams but they are consecutive, like showing an ad stream, showing some of the video, showing another ad (especially if you attempt to fast forward), and repeat. A stream capture program (e.g., Jaksta or Applian Replay Media Capture which is Jaksta in disguise) can capture the streams separately. There are screen capture programs that let you choose what section of the screen to capture. However, if you move the app's window then you screw up the capture since the capture area is fixed. Also, if you move the cursor across the are being captured or there is any jerkiness or pauses in the video playback, yep, those will also show up in the recorded section of the screen. Applian has their screen capture tool (Replay Video Capture) but I eventually uninstalled it because too many artifacts of the screen were getting included in the capture of a video. That will be symptomatic of any screen capture program, like for Camstudio (which really sucks). Since it is like the graphics and game were merged into one video stream, you would have to edit the captured stream (recorded into a local file) to cut out just the inset section with the game. The video editing software would have to let you define what section within the video for it to cut out and then play the video frame by frame to cut out just that section of each to pile into another video file. As a test, I used Applian's Replay Media Capture to snap the video stream(s) from that page. There was only one stream, not one for the game and another for the graphics. It's all one video. That the sections look separate is how your brain interprets the display, just like when viewing text on the screen is still looking at graphics but your brain has been taught to recognize some glyphs as characters in your language. There is some fuzziness to the game inset portion, especially for quick movement, but that's because Youtube delivered the entire video stream as 480p. If I use the settings menu (gear icon) to raise resolution to 720p, the game gets clearer (better focus). You could add a comment to that Youtube video (after logging in) to see if you could prod David Perry, the video owner, to upload a non-garbaged version of the game. Bet he comes back to say he did that to obviate some copyright law regarding his thievery. His other videos are his camera pointed at his tablet playing a game. Other of his videos look just the one you found; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJA88BjsRgQ and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCAz0MZWHAg. You could try reporting his garbaged thievery by using the 3-dot menu under the video to report his video as violating Google's TOS. Alas, only owners of pirated content are allowed to report it to Google (as the option is to report as "Infringes My Rights"). That means someone would have to be hunting around looking for thieves of their content to then report them to the sites hosting the stolen content. |

Many thanks, -T After you install the stale version in your package manager, you can do pip install --upgrade youtube-dl to update the Python portion, which is dated Nov.15 in this case. Downloader right now says I'm getting a 1.9GB movie in format 22. Then I'll get to see whether VLC can handle it. Paul |

The usable portion is 640x328 or so. File size was 2,035,969,515 for format 22. A pass through a movie tool to crop off the 3/4 portion of screen which is unusable, ought to fix it. The remaining effective resolution makes it WinTV quality. Remember that when Internet video started, we oohed and awed over 160x120, and this is way better than that. It looks like a football game of some sort. https://s7.postimg.org/446vhr40r/sample2.gif Paul |

Is there an add-on or other way that will allow me to see just the game and not the graphics trash on the sides? Many thanks, -T I tried a couple players in their so-called "crop" mode, and I just couldn't figure out the arguments for the WxH+X+Y format. Sometimes I'd get a slice of video, sometimes I would just get a noisy part of the screen and not the picture. So I gave up on doing it the easy way. I converted the 2GB downloaded video to 600GB of BMP files. 200,000 of them :-) C:\ffmpeg\bin\ffmpeg -i L:\bears.mp4 -f image2 -q:v 1 -c:v bmp a%06d.bmp I used IrfanView to crop the 1280x720 frames to 640x360. The Convert option, Advanced settings, has Crop in it. That converts the BMP folder into 150GB worth of stuff. Next, split off the sound (because I don't know FFMPEG well enough to do the remaining steps in one shot). This takes no time at all, since it's a stream extract and copy. C:\ffmpeg\bin\ffmpeg -i bears.mp4 -map 0:1 -c:a copy sound.mp4 The final render takes the 150GB video images, plus 100MB of sound, and combines them. The T:\OUT folder has the cropped 640x360 images, one per video frame. C:\ffmpeg\bin\ffmpeg -i sound.mp4 -framerate 30 -s 640x360 -i T:\out\a%06d.bmp -c:v h264 -preset slow -crf 22 bears_out.mp4 And that's roughly a 1GB file, ready to play. It even looks good in VLC, if I magnify the screen to 2x. See how easy video is ? Paul |
