YT data drive is a Rust command-line tool designed to efficiently encode and decode files for video archiving. It offers flexibility in handling various input file formats and converting them into encoded video outputs or individual image frames, promoting long-term preservation.
- Encoding and Decoding : Supports both encoding files into a video format and decoding encoded files back into their original format (Still in development).
- Format Agnostic : Can encode various file types, providing a more generic solution for archiving different content.
- Frame Extraction : Enables creating individual image frames from the encoded file for enhanced visualization and analysis (requires encoding first).
- Resolution Control: Allows you to specify the desired output resolution (FHD, HD, SD, or custom) for both video and frames, ensuring compatibility with different display needs.
Rust (version 1.56 or later recommended).
Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/pascall-de-creator/yt-data-drive.git
cd yt-data-drive
cargo build --release
yt-data-drive file.txt --mode encode --output outputThis encodes the file.txt and saves the output video as output.mp4.
| Option | Short Flag | Long Flag | Description | Required | Default Value |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Input File | The file to be encoded/decoded | Yes | - | ||
| Mode | -m | --mode | Encode or decode the file (encode/decode) | Yes | - |
| Output File | -o | --output | The output filename (with extension for video) | No | output.png |
| Resolution | -r | --resolution | Output resolution (FHD, HD, SD, or custom) | No | HD |
| No Video | --no-video | Do not generate video output (only for encoding) | No | false | |
| No Frames | --no-frames | Do not generate image frames (only for encoding) | No | true |
Video decoding functionality is currently under development and might not be fully functional yet.
