AviGlitch destroys your AVI files.

I can’t explain why they’re going to destroy their own data.

See following urls for details;

• vimeo www.vimeo.com/groups/artifacts

• wikipedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_artifact

• Not supports AVI2 files right now.

• Not supports files with interleave.

• Parses only container level structure, doesn’t parse codecs.

require 'aviglitch'

avi = AviGlitch.open('/path/to/your.avi')
avi.glitch(:keyframe) do |data|
  data.gsub(/\d/, '0')
end
avi.output('/path/to/broken.avi')

This library also includes a command line tool named datamosh. It creates the keyframes removed video.

$ datamosh /path/to/your.avi -o /path/to/broken.avi

gem install aviglitch
