Feature request: timelapse ability #60

I've toyed around with Yrewind on some live camera streams and prefer making hyper speed re-renderings from some of those, but there's one major issue, downloading full, many hours long videos takes time, like does processing them. FFMPEG does good job in re-rendering them at reasonable speed, but there's still plenty of useless data to download and manage. This made me wonder if you could include a timelapse functionality, so that you could download only 1-frame long clips at user given interval over a certain period of time, say every 700th frame for example, so that you can squeeze a week worth of 24/7 video stream in less than 15mins.

Also hope that you would keep updating the Yrewind, it's a nice piece of software and useful especially for grabbing sequences from any 24/7h live streams.

Hello, this is a good idea. Going to do multi-threaded downloading (to bypass Youtube throttling), then I'll try do this feature at the same release. Thanks for the feedback

Thank you very much for your positive reception for the time lapse idea. Also very pleased to hear about the multi-threaded download, YT throttling is often quite significant indeed. Excited to see the future releases, keep up the good work.
