Answer 1

You might try the mini_exiftool gem, a wrapper for the exiftool command-line tool.

While the gem requires you to actually install the command-line tool, the result is that you get a lot more power. Compared to exifr, which only gives you support for JPG and TIF files, exiftool supports a huge number of file formats. It also supports reading and writing of exif data, whereas exifr only supports reading.
