I've recently begun learning ruby (coming from a mainly java world), and so far I really like it. Now I'm trying to write as much as I can using ruby so I can get a better feel for the language. So, I have an upcoming project that will require writing a program that can do some simple video playback. I would need it to be cross platform (at least Windows and OS X, which rules out the gstreamer and xine bindings for ruby that I've seen), and it would need to be able to play some common video formats like mpeg-1 and avi. I would love to write this in ruby, but I have been unable to find anything that looks like it fits my needs. Does anything like this exist, or am I stuck using JMF? Thanks!
