============
videocutting
============
A small PHP Wrapper around ffmpeg to make cutting videos easier.
This project provides a single executable file that wraps a Symfony console command.
The command itself accepts some arguments to cut out parts of a video file using ffmpeg.
The resulting file will be moved to a dedicated folder structure.
I'm currently developing this for myself in order to remove advertisements from recorded TV shows.
I'm using https://www.youtv.de/ to record stuff.
Drawbacks
=========
* Right now this script expects a specific file naming to extract information like season name.
* Resulting file might be off between sound and video on some players (PS4 and my own TV).
Others work fine (Mozilla Firefox and VLC).
Benefits
========
* Generates files very fast, by copying and not re encoding.
Installation
============
Install requirements:
* PHP 7.3 command line
* ffmpeg
#. Download / clone project.
#. Run `composer install --no-dev -o`
#. Execute executable `./cutvideo --help` to get instructions on how to use the script.
