A set of standalone Ruby command-line scripts that wrap HandBrake and FFmpeg to transcode, inspect, and convert video files. It focuses on shrinking Blu-ray and DVD rips into smaller, portable formats while preserving quality.

Use cases

  • transcode blu-ray and dvd rips to smaller files
  • convert mkv to mp4 without re-encoding
  • detect crop values for a video
  • batch shrink a movie collection while keeping quality
  • wrap handbrake and ffmpeg with sensible defaults

When to choose

  • you want opinionated, high-quality video transcoding from the command line
  • you need to convert between Matroska and MP4 containers without re-encoding
  • you work across Windows, Linux, and macOS with Ruby installed

When to avoid

  • you need a GUI video converter
  • you want a library to embed in another application rather than shell scripts
  • you rely on the pre-2025 RubyGems API, which is incompatible
