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 8.2 command line

* ffmpeg
