cbr2cbz

CBR to CBZ conversion tool for GNU/Linux

Requirements

• A GNU/Linux distro (sorry, no Windows support)
• The non-free package unrar-nonfree (check unrar-nonfree)
• The free package zip. Install it with sudo apt-get install zip.
• Python (checked with Python 2.7 and Python 3.3)

Usage

To convert a single CBR file use this:

./cbr2cbz.py <cbr_filename>

To convert an entire directory with CBR files in it use:

cbrfolder2cbz.py <directory>

You can also convert many directories (thank you @nmorey) with:

cbrfolder2cbz.py <directory1> <directory2> .. <directoryn>

The script will put CBZ files in the same directory. In case you need to rename many files check [pyrenamer] (https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/pyrenamer)

Introduction

CBR files use RAR format, a non-free format. If you use a GPL comics reader in your tablet it's likely it will have problems when reading CBR files. Convert them to CBZ with this script.
