yvx <video_url> -mp3

You can also extract a clip from the video by specifying the start and end time of the clip. For example, to extract a clip from 2:30 to 5:00, run the following command:

yvx <video_url> --start-time 00:02:30 --end-time 00:05:00

And if you want the video only until certain time, you can specify the end time only. For example, to download the video until 5:00, run the following command:

yvx <video_url> --end-time 00:05:00

Note: All methods shown here will download the video either in mp4 or mp3 format and store it in a folder named "out" in the tool directory.

To download the video in a specific directory, you can add the --path flag as shown below:

yvx <video_url> --path <path_to_directory>
