In short: It does not use FFMPEG to download the VOD files, and that speeds things up significantly. As soon as all video chunks are downloaded, FFMPEG is only used to merge those chunks together in order to create a single video file again. It downloads thousands of small video chunks in parallel while using all of the available bandwidth of your internet connection. Twitch Leecher does not use FFMPEG for download tasks at all. The download speed rarely exceeds 1.5Mbit even if the internet connection is 100 times faster. Nearly all of the well known VOD downloaders execute the download process via FFMPEG's integrated download capabilities. The core difference is explained by the author:
Twitch Leecher downloads streams quickly, especially when you compare its performance to most VOD downloaders out there. The download dialog displays several options you may change the quality of the video, output folder and filename, and even crop the video in case you are only interested in part of it and not the full stream. It is downloaded automatically by the application once it has been added to the queue.
All that is left to do is to click on "download" to add the selected item to the download queue. Select the search button afterwards and wait for Twitch Leecher to display the results.Įach result is displayed with a large thumbnail, title, views, playtime, and date of stream. Just switch to the URLs tab in the interface and paste one or multiple Twitch stream URLs into the field that is displayed. Search is divided into channel, URL and ID searches, with the channel search being divided further into the video types broadcast, highlight and upload, and time limits.Īdding URLs of streams in Twitch Leecher is probably the easiest option to get started. A search interface is displayed on start that is used to find streams of interest. You may launch it from the Start menu after installation. The program is compatible with Windows 7 Service Pack 1 and newer versions of Windows, and requires the Microsoft.
It can be used to back up Twitch streams, to download streams for offline viewing or record keeping.
