LAION-BVD — RAW Corpus File Index
This repository is the file index of the LAION-BVD raw corpus: one row for every object stored for the ~80M downloaded videos (video, audio, metadata, subtitles, comments). It contains no media — only object keys and sizes.
The index is the manifest used to fetch the raw files themselves. Access is granted to researchers on request (see Requesting access), after which the keys in this index can be resolved against the object storage.
Dataset structure
| Column | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
key |
string | Object key, <id>/<id>.<ext> |
size |
int64 | Object size in bytes |
id |
string | Video ID (e.g. YouTube ID); the _comments suffix is stripped so all files of a video share one id |
ext |
string | Everything after the first dot of the filename, e.g. mp4, info.json |
Rows are sorted by key, and all objects belonging to one video are guaranteed to live in the same shard — a single shard can be processed independently without losing files of a video across a shard boundary.
