Shorts tend to be less than 1 minute, right? I never watch them... anyway

yt-dlp --match-filter "duration > 60" -a urls.txt

60 is the minimum number of seconds a video should be. This should work, unless you are downloading normal videos that are less than a minute. yt-dlp is the fork, I believe, and youtube-dl is the less reliable original that should be avoided.

Also, I don't know about shorts, and I've never had such problems, but you might try specifying the format:

yt-dlp -f "bestvideo[ext=mp4]+bestaudio[ext=m4a]" --match-filter "duration > 60" -a urls.txt

You can see available codecs with the -F flag

yt-dlp -F URL

Well, the title isn't true - I'm in Japan. I don't know about the rest, but I would ignore this guy.

You can use findbullionprices.com to find the best prices across most sellers - jmbullion, sdbullion, etc

Possibly making a new account with ru.duolingo.com - clear you duolingo.com related cookies and cache first. Of course it's in Russian - I'm not sure if the gay shit comes back if you change to English later on, and I don't yet see how to change the region of an existing account.

This was the most recent article I could find of his, but yes, these are not the papers he referenced. Pointless reporting.

It is easy. I block it because, for me, it's slow, but more importantly it's a dead end of information. It provides a random video with no hint to where it came from or the surrounding context. When you watch a video on Catbox, you're invited to feel a rush of emotion, but not presented with any sort of fact trail to back it up. I appreciate the pleasure of emotions, but that's not what I'm personally looking for. Certainly when Q said to save everything metadata was implied.

Personally, I just block catbox. Videos/Files on that platform have no source information so there's no point in viewing.

It doesn't seem that Japan has done anything, which I can confirm since I'm in Japan. Instead, a paper was published.

All this "Japan did this, Japan did that" is largely BS. Some researchers in Japan researched stuff.

A good rule of thumb is that anything you read about Japan online is probably not true. I imagine that goes for other countries too, I just happen to know about this one. Anyway, it's still interesting to see what's circulating.

I'm here, it's not true, obviously.

I'm glad this was helpful.

each tool has extensive documentation. You can remove all dates, or anything else, like so:

exiftool "-*date*=" file.mp4

The idea isn't to identify yourself, but to identify the video.

I use some of the following before re-encoding archival size:

yt-dlp --f bestvideo[ext=mp4][height<=1080][vcodec^=avc1]+bestaudio[ext=m4a][abr<=192] -o '/Videos/%(uploader)s/%(playlist_title)s/%(upload_date)s - %(title).190s.%(ext)s'

With this, you get the upload date, uploader name, and video title in the filename, which is helpful in identifying the incident recorded when the metadata is lost.

Similar processes are available for images as well.

You seem to enjoy what you do.

I'm not sure if you're aware, but you can use yt-dlp (or youtube-dl) to download videos from most places and it will embed video information in the metadata.

You can then use exiftool to copy the metadata from the original, or if you converted with handbrake, the metadata should be copied during conversion.

With Exiftool, or Handbrake, you can preserve the creation date, source url, original description, subtitles... all valuable information when reporting the news.

Where did these videos come from? I appreciate catbox, but they have no metadata, subtitles, source.... just random videos out of nowhere.

Is this part of a larger documentary?
