Is it possible to download a video from YouTube NOT in its entirety, but a piece, say, from 0:20 to 1:15? How exactly?

Question

YouTube

subject :)

Can I download instead of the whole video - some excerpt at the given timestamps?

For example, from 0:20 to 1:15?

How to do it (under Ubuntu)?

There is no such thing in youtube-dl :(

Thanks.

Youtube-dl does not know how to download in parts, but it can transfer the downloaded video to ffmpeg. And through the parameter --postprocessor-args you can pass -ss <начало> -t <продолжительность>
Here there is an option how you can manually download only the necessary piece https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/475439
