SCPD Scraper

This program downloads scpd videos for a given class in the order that they happened as a wmv, then converts them to a mp4. Each time the script is run, it will update to download all of the undownloaded videos.

This script is modified from the one by Ben Newhouse https://github.com/newhouseb.

Unfortunately, there are lots of dependencies to get it up and running

  1. BeautifulSoup for parsing: http://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/
  2. Mechanize for emulating a browser, http://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/
  3. mimms for downloading video streams [apt-get install mimms]
  4. (For Apple fanbois) Handbrake CLI, for converting to mp4: http://handbrake.fr/downloads2.php

To run: Change to your username When prompted, type your password

Usage: python scrape.py "Interactive Computer Graphics"

The way I use it is to keep a folder of videos, and once I have watched them, move them into a subfolder called watched. So it also wont redowload files that are in a subfolder called watched.
