Utube Video cropping

[mosssideblue]

Want to put a utube music video onto CD but it is too long.
Is there a way of cropping the video to say 75 mins so as to get it on a disc?

What source is the Yoochoob video stream?

=> Use a free on-line tool to capture/convert the stream into MP4 Video. (add YouTube URL into tool)
=> Download MP4Tools (free) to trim the MP4 Video to your desired length.
+> Burn to CD/DVD as a VCD/DVD video format. (May need to convert MP4 into MPEG for DVD player)

Tell us which video then

Thanks, I'll give that a try. It's a music video and want to be able to play that in car CD

In that case ...

=> Google search for a free online converter from YouTube to MP3.
=> Use MP3Trim (free tool) to cut the length of the music file to fit your format.
=> Use a free CD burner tool (CD Burner or ImgBurn) or NERO etc (set to Audio format) add the shortened MP3 file and burn to disc.

if you aren't afraid of command line, I'd recommend yt-dlp to download things from youtube
if you are, there's https://stacher.io/

both will let you download just the audio.

I've grabbed the audio and split it into two files you can easily burn with ImgBurn or whatever. They split at a break in the music. They are quite big to download but it should preserve the audio quality.

(Youtube encodes all audio with the Opus codec... if you convert that to MP3, you are doing a 'lossy to lossy transcode' which degrades audio quality. what we're doing is Opus to FLAC. It's the same quality as the Opus, but bigger files. It's essentially the same end result, the exact same quality, as if we'd written the Opus files direct to the CDs.... except, you can't do that
