Chunk 6: Alternative Approaches
Alternative to
moviepy
:- Consider
ffmpeg-python
for video duration extraction if you need higher efficiency, especially with large files.
- Consider
Manual Median Calculation (Alternative to
statistics
):video_durations.sort() n = len(video_durations) median_duration = (video_durations[n//2] if n % 2 != 0 else (video_durations[n//2 - 1] + video_durations[n//2]) / 2)
- Sorts the list and calculates the median based on whether the number of items is even or odd.
