VideoTranscodeBench Dataset

[Anjali05]

I have been trying to download data from https://www.cdvl.org/ but cannot register. I have tried multiple times and I am not sure what the issue is. It does not give any error when I try to proceed with registration. Is there any way I can get access to the dataset, or can I use any other dataset that is more accessible?

Hi @Anjali05, I tried registering and it seems to work for me. I was able to download the dataset.

Although, some of the error messages are easy to miss (not in red):

Looks like the CDVL website's registration page was indeed broken but got fixed recently. Unfortunately we can't host the dataset ourselves because of its license, but we're looking into creating a script to generate the same video cuts based on the Netflix's open source El Fuente video.

@suyashmahar @excelle08 It would be great to include a script to generate the video cuts instead of relying on downloading from the CDVL website.
