Large media files used by www.prisonpc.com

These are currently only local copies of YouTube videos used by folks whose employers block access to YouTube.

The files in videos/ have been created like so:

1. Download the video with yt-dlp:

   yt-dlp --write-subs --write-auto-subs "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VOYS1jJ8a8"

Note

That the sub(titles) mentioned above downloads the subs and embeds them in the mkv, but these don't get embedded in the mp4 or webm files by ffmpeg. Mozilla says you can use the vtt file, but I've not tried this.

2. Remove the full video name, leaving only the YouTube ID:

   $ ls
   'PrisonPC Introduction [8VOYS1jJ8a8].en-GB.vtt'  'PrisonPC Introduction [8VOYS1jJ8a8].mkv'
   $ rename 's/.*\[([^\]]*)\]/$1/' *
   $ ls
   8VOYS1jJ8a8.en-GB.vtt  8VOYS1jJ8a8.mkv

3. Convert video to mp4 (and possible webm):

   for f in *.mkv
   do
       ffmpeg -i "$f" "${f/mkv/mp4}"
       #ffmpeg -i "$f" "${f/mkv/webm}"
   done

4. Use the local video short code in the website markdown to reference the video:

   {{< local_video 8VOYS1jJ8a8 >}}
