Is that really the main problem?  What about doing the conversions and
burning?  If it's not done by some external command line tool that simply
has to be controlled by the Ruby app, it's likely that you have to develop a
C extension for the conversion / burning work to get the speed you need.
Additionally burning is likely to be heavily platform dependend.
