Rays FFmpeg Commander Toolbox — High-level product overview:
Powerful, no-fuss batch video and audio toolkit — fast conversions, pro presets, and one-click previews.
Hero
Convert, edit, and prepare video and audio quickly with a friendly desktop UI built on ffmpeg. Hardware-accelerated presets, built-in yt-dlp integration, and filmic B&W tools let creators and small teams get polished results without command-line work.
At a glance:
- Batch convert single or many files to MP4, MKV, HEVC and other common formats using curated presets for YouTube, Plex, archival, and more.
- Download and import from the web with built-in yt-dlp integration.
- Quick Preview (15s): audition edits, overlays and audio filters before a long transcode; includes a side-by-side B&W preview to compare original vs processed frames.
- Professional audio workflows: single-pass EBU R128 loudness normalization, manual dB gain, and dynamic normalization (dynaudnorm).
- Simple edit tools: cut, keep, remove sections, and add text overlays.
- Parallel conversion: split large jobs into chunks and run multiple workers to speed throughput on multi-core machines.
Key features:
- One-click Presets: ready-to-use, tested presets for common targets (YouTube, Plex, archival HEVC).
- Quick Preview: fast 15s audition honoring edits and audio filters so you can verify results before running a full encode.
- B&W Filmic Processing: film-stock inspired B&W filter chain with grain and vignette controls, plus labeled side-by-side preview.
- Audio Tools: predictable loudness with loudnorm, dynamic normalization and a manual gain slider.
- Hardware-aware Encoding: use hardware encoders when available (VideoToolbox, NVENC) with safe fallbacks to libx264/libx265.
- Developer & Power Options: build scripts and configurable encoder choices for pro workflows.
Benefits:
- Save time: presets and parallel conversion eliminate manual tuning and long waits.
- Reduce errors: visual and audio previews prevent wasted long encodes.
- Professional outputs: loudness compliance and labeled comparisons give consistent deliverables.
- Accessible: full control with a friendly GUI — no command-line required.
Technical highlights:
- Built on ffmpeg/ffplay for decoding, filtering and encoding.
- Audio filter chain applied in a predictable order: dynaudnorm → manual gain → loudnorm.
- Non-blocking UI: heavy ffmpeg operations run in background threads with progress parsing and user-cancellable dialogs.
- Installer packages for desktop distribution.
Trust signals:
- Built-in diagnostics and logs capture ffmpeg commands and stderr for reproducible troubleshooting.
- Packaging and installer options for easy deployment.
Suggested short copy:
- Hero: “Batch convert & preview like a pro — fast presets, hardware acceleration, and side‑by‑side B&W filmic previews.”
- Subline: “Preview your edits and audio before you encode. Save time and produce consistent results.”
Licensing & distribution:
– Available as desktop binaries with installer for easy deployment.
– Pricing: One-time $20 for either a Mac (tested on Apple silicone M1, M3) or Linux binary (tested on Intel x86)
Install Instructions:
On Linux just start the Binary and that’s it… that’s the beauty of Linux!!
On Mac –
#1 Double click on the App ( it won’t let you open because my App is not Mac $99 develop tax signed – for now I am not doing that, not paying the Apple Tax, ridicules actually ), click Done.
#2 Go under Privacy & Security and look for a message that it was blocked and Un-Block it – this only has to be done once. You can scan it with some virus program before if you are concerned.
#3 Open it again and that’s it, after this it should work.
