Hi,

I'm trying to use youtube-dl to download up to a specific part of a video.

For instance, if I have a 5 minute video, and I want to download from 2:00 to 3:00, what command would I need in order to do this? I have reviewed the documentation but not seen any commands that relate to this.

Thank you for any advice you can offer.

Duplicate of #622.
That is not possible. You may try using ffmpeg.
