handbrake-js

A cross-platform npm distribution for HandbrakeCLI designed for command line or library use.

As a library

Install

$ npm install handbrake-js

Usage

Handbrake-js has a single method: run. There are two ways to invoke it.

###handbrake.run(handbrakeOptions) Returns an EventEmitter enabling you to catch events as they happen.

var handbrake = require("handbrake-js");
    
var options = {
    input: "Eight Miles High.mov",
    output: "Eight Miles High.m4v",
    preset: "Normal"
};

handbrake.run(options)
    .on("output", console.log);
    .on("progress", function(encode){
        console.log(encode.percentComplete);
    })
    .on("complete", function(){ 
        console.log("Encode complete"); 
    });

handbrake.run(handbrakeOptions, onComplete)

The second method is to pass an onComplete callback. It's more convenient for short duration tasks: javascript handbrake.run({ preset-list: true }, function(stdout, stderr){ console.log(stdout); }); As a command line tool

Install

$ sudo npm install -g handbrake-js

Usage

Call handbrake-js as you would HandbrakeCLI, using all the usual options:

$ handbrake-js --input "Ballroom Bangra.avi" --output "Ballroom Bangra.mp4" --preset Normal

HandbrakeCLI installation

On Windows and Mac OSX installing handbrake-js automatically installs the correct HandbrakeCLI binary for your platform. Ubuntu users should additionally run:

$ sudo npm -g run-script handbrake-js ubuntu-setup
