> HandBrake is a tool for converting video from nearly any format to a selection of modern, widely supported codecs. More at [https://handbrake.fr/](https://handbrake.fr/)

# What is this?

This is a wrapper to install [HandBrake](https://handbrake.fr) as a local dependency through **npm**.

## Install

```bash

$ npm install handbrake-bin --save

```

_Linux users may need to run with sudo_

## Usage

```js

const execFile = require('child_process').execFile;

const handBrake = require('handbrake-bin');

execFile(handBrake, ['--input', 'input.mkv', '--output', 'output.mp4'], err => {

	console.log('Done');

});

```

Or you could pull [```object-to-spawn-args```](https://www.npmjs.com/package/object-to-spawn-args) and use like this:

```js

import { HandbrakeCLIPath } from 'handbrake-bin';

import toSpawnArgs from 'object-to-spawn-args';

const options = {

    input: 'input.mkv',

    output: 'output.mp4'

}

execFile(handBrake, toSpawnArgs(options), err => {

	console.log('Done');

});

```

# CLI

```bash

$ npm install --global handbrake-bin

```

```bash

$ handbrake --help

```
