Vocaloid is like Xerox now


And of course no, using synthesized vocal (of a certain trademarked brand) is not any special genre of music. Tag your releases with proper genres, damnit!

Grabbing videos from NND and YT

Firstly, ffmpeg can split anything. I'll post about it later.

This note will cover tools for win os, nixfags - see above.

Most of original Vocaloid videos and music are on NicoNicoDouga streamer. Any vid can be downloaded with FireFox + NicoFox. The bonus of that wondrous plugin is that it will wait until high-quality version is available - in case NND is horrifying you with its "economy mode". What can be found in NND vids:
  • mp4: can be splitted with mp4box + yamb. Yamb is buggy - needs "back" after extracting: if you close it right after, it'll spam alert windows until its process is terminated from task manager.
  • flv: flvextract
  • swf: i'll rant a wall'o'text about that later. Shortly, use swfextract from swftools. It's a kit for swf -> pdf, swfextract is one of its command-line tools: cmd to downloaded swf and "swfextract -m vid.swf"
    YouTube has some original videos and crappy audio. Any vid can be grabbed with DownloadHelper plugin for FF. There'll be a special hatenote about YT later.

    Audio formats and working with video - later (including why not use NicoSound).
