Rays FFmpeg Commander Toolbox is a user-friendly Python script that provides a powerful graphical interface for FFmpeg, making multimedia conversion and processing tasks vastly easier than manual command-line usage.
Overview
- Provides a modern GUI for FFmpeg operations, allowing seamless video and audio processing tasks without the need to memorize complex command-line options. I applied styles so that the window box looks like something out of the old days of Solaris, if you are old enough to have used that…
- Significantly improves productivity and reduces errors compared to manual terminal operations.
- Developed on Ubuntu Linux 25.05 and has been tested successfully on macOS. Windows support is untested, but expected with compatible dependencies and Python/FFmpeg installed.
Cross-Platform Installation
To run Rays FFmpeg Commander Toolbox, the following dependencies are required:
- Python 3
- FFmpeg (available on all platforms)
- GTK 3 & GObject Introspection (GI) for GUI functionality
For macOS, install the required packages via Homebrew:
brew install gtk+3
brew install gtkmm gtkmm3 gtkmm4 cairomm
brew install pygobject3 gtk4
On Linux, use your distribution’s package manager (e.g., apt
, dnf
, pacman
) to install Python, FFmpeg, GTK 3, and GI.
