videos at google photos

for HD files (720p and up) at photos.google.com, they get demuxed to separate audio and video files. flashgot detects both A/V files if the video's length is usually at least a minute long.
but if the video is short, e.g 20 seconds long, FlashGot only detects the video file. i'm not sure if google photos is doing something weird with the audio file or if there is some limitation to FlashGot re short/small audio files that prevents it from being detected.
please advise.

It may have to do with the file size.
See if changing the Preference item, flashgot.media.minSize.flv, to something smaller, say, 100000 - or however low you might need to go for the particular clip to be "seen"...?

this answered my question. i suspected it had something to do with the small file size, but didn't know where to look.
thank you @therube!
now i just need to figure out how to automatically mux the A/V files.

MUX: KeepVid Video Joiner - for Youtube Dash Videos
Or what I use to more generally MUX the Video from one file with the Audio from another:
Code: Select all
@ECHO OFF
ECHO MUX 0:VIDEO:CLIP:0 with 1:AUDIO:CLIP:0 -- *IN THAT ORDER, only!*
ECHO much like how Video To Video does it, as opposed to "MUX" which is
ECHO really a "JOIN"
ECHO.
ECHO therube 02/09/2015
ECHO.
ECHO VIDEO:
ECHO %1
ECHO AUDIO:
ECHO %2
ECHO.
PAUSE
ECHO.
SET OUT=C:\OUT
ECHO OUT=: %OUT%
SET OFILE=%OUT%\%~n1_MUX_AV%~x1
ECHO Output filename:
ECHO "%OFILE%"
SET LOG=%OUT%\MUX_AV.TXT
ECHO.
PAUSE
SET VIDEO=%1
SET AUDIO=%2
ECHO %VIDEO% > %LOG%
ECHO %AUDIO% >> %LOG%
ECHO. >> %LOG%
ECHO ffmpeg >> %LOG%
ECHO -i %VIDEO% >> %LOG%
ECHO -i %AUDIO% >> %LOG%
ECHO -c copy -map 0:v:0 -map 1:a:0 -bsf:a aac_adtstoasc >> %LOG%
ECHO "%OFILE%" >> %LOG%
ECHO. >> %LOG%
ECHO ========================================================================================= >> %LOG%
ECHO. >> %LOG%
SF %LOG%
PAUSE
ffmpeg -i %VIDEO% -i %AUDIO% -c copy -map 0:v:0 -map 1:a:0 -bsf:a aac_adtstoasc "%OFILE%" 2>&1 | tee -a %LOG%
ECHO.
PAUSE
touch "%OFILE%" --reference=%1
PAUSE
EXIT
"SF" is simply (a renamed)
ShowTx, that I use to display the %LOG% file prior to actually running the ffmpeg program.
It need not be there. Nor the "touch" for that matter.

appreciate the tip re muxing, but i'm on mac os x. currently just using a firefox add-on to mux the A/V files via drag and drop.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... and-muxer/
someday i'll have to figure out a way to script ffmpeg and use hazel to autodetect files in a folder and mux automagically. but for now the manual drag-and-drop method will have to do.
