This is a script that allows you to download YouTube captions and convert them into SRT format. This is just for my practice of parsing XML files using Python.
-
Go www.youtube.com and watch a movie.
-
Copy the video URL.
-
Run this script to show available caption language list.
./youtube2srt.py <video url> -
Run this script again with the index number of the caption language that you want to dump:
./youtube2srt.py <video url> <lang id> > script.srt
