Hi people,

I just released a library for the Hey!Watch web service.  
[http://heywatch.com](http://heywatch.com)

Hey!Watch provides a simple and robust video encoding plateform for  
both individuals (B2C) and companies (B2B).

The service allows developers to access a fast, scalable and  
inexpensive web service to encode videos easier. The API can be easily  
integrated in any web or desktop applications.

Here is an example:

require ‘heywatch’  
include HeyWatch

Base::establish\_connection! :login =\> ‘login’, :password =\> ‘password’

raw\_video = Download.create(:url =\> ‘[http://host.com/video.avi](http://host.com/video.avi)’,  
:download =\> true) do |percent, total\_size, received|  
puts “#{percent}%”  
end

ipod\_format = Format.find\_by\_name(‘iPod 4:3’)  
encoded\_video = Job.create(:video\_id =\> raw\_video.id, :format\_id =\>  
ipod\_format.id) do |percent|  
puts “#{percent}%”  
end

puts “downloading #{encoded\_video.title}”  
path = encoded\_video.download  
puts “video saved in #{path}”

Install: gem install heywatch
