If you don't insist on doing it with a Ruby script, I guess something like 
this using ImageMagick should do the trick: 

    	convert -resize 320x200 image.jpg image-out.jpg

And since this is available from Ruby using Tim Hunters RMagick, you could 
also (off the top of my head): 
    	
    	require 'rmagick'
    	
    	img = Magick::Image.read( 'image.jpg' ).first
    	img.change_geometry!( '320x200' ) do |cols, rows, img|
    	    	img.resize!( cols, rows )
    	end

    	img.write( 'img-out.jpg' )

happy hacking !
