Donations often sound appealing but rarely generate consistent support because only a small percentage of users contribute voluntarily. To sustain ongoing development, provide support, and improve the software quality, a fixed fee ensures fair compensation and helps maintain this project long-term.
This approach balances accessibility with practicality, allowing continued innovation while respecting everyone’s time and effort.” You will get lifetime updates for free, as I develop it in the future, you will be automatically added to the Mailing List – don’t worry I won’t be sending you daily Marketing emails and you can opt-out later if you want.
I don’t have any fancy Shopping Cart Integration, once you send me the payment over PayPal, I will be notified, I will email you the software link to download.

Overview: Rays FFmpeg Commander Toolbox is a user-friendly Python program that provides a powerful graphical interface for FFmpeg, simplifying multimedia conversion and processing tasks that are otherwise complex via command line. It includes specialized features for color correction, especially converting and enhancing Black and White movies with random Previews.
I’ve also incorporated old stock film settings, so you can just press a button and get some amazing Black and White conversions otherwise forgotten.
You can also download 1080p videos from YouTube for archival reasons – using the free YouTube account.
