Sometimes there is no Audio in a downloaded video

[hkunz]

I'm sorry I couldn't find the steps of reproduction but out of a bunch of videos I have downloaded, there is a 5% chance that the audio is not included in the final output. The fix was to just download the video again. So something is causing it to malfunction. Here's an example video I tried downloading several times and it always ends up without audio: https://player.vimeo.com/video/723228170

i switched to the youtube-dl downloader which you can use to download also vimeo videos. it's far better and faster and more reliable. to use just git checkout the repository and run python -m youtube_dl -o ${output_name} ${vimeo_link}

vimeo-dl is focused on downloading private videos from vimeo. So if you are downloading public videos, you do not need to stay with this tool.

I am releasing and maintaining this tool as a free tool. Nevertheless, I feel that your act of writing to discredit this tool lacks respect.

Sorry I didn't mean to disrespect, and I appreciate your efforts for providing a free tool to the community. I was only stating facts.

Well it's private and i don't want to share it. I tried with youtube-dl tho, it didn't work. But with public videos is fine.

Hmmm 🤔

Just to say thanks for your work. I'm using it to fetch medical webinars on vimeo, for which I have legitimate access, but would rather download for offline viewing.

"-- combine" works for audio, I suspect the OP did not include that flag.

Thank you, once again, akiomik.
