Video Splitter

This Python script splits video files into 1-minute segments. It supports .mp4, .avi, and .mkv video formats.

Dependencies

The script uses the following Python packages:

• os
• subprocess
• moviepy

If moviepy is not installed, the script will automatically install it using pip3.

How to Use

1. Place your video files in a folder named files in the same directory as the script.
2. Run the script. It will create a new folder named splitFiles (if it doesn't already exist) and place the 1-minute video segments there.
3. Each segment will be named according to the original file name with the addition of _split_{i}, where {i} is the start time of the segment in the original video.

Code Explanation

The script first checks if moviepy is installed and installs it if necessary. It then creates the splitFiles directory and gets a list of all media files in the files directory.

For each video file, it loads the video, calculates its duration, and splits it into 1-minute segments. Each segment is then saved to the splitFiles directory with a unique name. After all segments have been extracted, the video file is closed to free up resources.

Note

The script uses the libx264 codec for output video files. Make sure your system supports this codec.
