Its documented feature set centers on segmented stream fetching, optional DRM-related workflows, subtitle extraction, and ffmpeg-based muxing into a single output file. ### Project history The public project is maintained by clitic on GitHub and presents itself as both an end-user CLI and an embeddable Rust library. The 2025-2026 changelog shows rapid iteration around the `save` workflow, including stream selection changes in 2025 and a 0.5.0 release dated 2026-06-03 that added separate `decrypt` and `license` subcommands alongside resume and clip-section support. ### How it is used The documented main entry point is `vsd save`, which takes a DASH or HLS playlist URL and can write a muxed media file when an output path is supplied. In practice it belongs to the same niche as other stream-inspection and segmented-media download tools: useful when a user has a manifest URL and wants a reproducible CLI path from playlist to local file. ### Timeline - 2025-06-13: Version 0.4.0 added the `capture` workflow and HLS SAMPLE-AES decryption support. - 2025-08-12: Version 0.4.2 simplified stream-selection flags into a unified selection option. - 2026-06-03: Version 0.5.0 added `decrypt` and `license` subcommands plus resume and clip-section support for `save`. ### Sources - GitHub README: https://github.com/clitic/vsd - GitHub releases/changelog: https://github.com/clitic/vsd/releases - Official docs: https://clitic.github.io/vsd/ - Project changelog: https://github.com/clitic/vsd/blob/main/vsd/CHANGELOG.md ## Security Notes broad file, network, media, or database tool signal. - **Geiger risk:** blue / medium - broad file, network, media, or database tool signal ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** vsd - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** stable ## Other Package-Manager Records - Scoop - main/vsd: normalized package name match | Scoop official bucket manifest trees: bucket/vsd.json from https://api.github.com/repos/ScoopInstaller/Main/git/trees/master?recursive=1 ## Related links - [Source-control packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Secret-risk packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/secret-risk-packages/) - Has protected-tool coverage, approval-gate, or non-low Geiger security signals. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [ffmpeg](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/ffmpeg/) - Runtime dependency declared by Homebrew. - [pkgconf](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/pkgconf/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [protobuf](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/protobuf/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [rust](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/rust/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [bento4](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/bento4/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, hls, media, video. - [svtplay-dl](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/svtplay-dl/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, downloader, media, video. - [animdl](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/animdl/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, downloader, media, video. - [castget](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/castget/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, downloader, media. - [ccextractor](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/ccextractor/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, media, video. - [dvanalyzer](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/dvanalyzer/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, media, video. - [dvr-scan](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/dvr-scan/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, media, video. - [yle-dl](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/yle-dl/) - Both packages work with overlapping file formats or content types.
