VideoCampus Sachsen Downloader

This is a tool designed for downloading content from the VideoCampus Sachsen and learning plattforms that rely on it, such as Bildungsportal Sachsen - OPAL.

With this tool you can download the lecture videos and learn at your oww pace, at your place of choice and without the need for having an internet connection available.

The downloaded videos will be in the .TS format, therefore it's suggested to use a tool such as Handbrake to convert them to a more common format such as MP4 with H.264/H.265 encoding, depending on the target devices.

If you enjoy using this tool, leave a star on GitHub.
