Why donate?


During last year or two I released a dozen various FREE filters for videoprocessing as plugins for Avisynth (for video denoise, film restoration, etc.). It takes a lot of time and efforts.
But now I am really need in some hardware and software (compiler) upgrades. So, if (1) you like my filters and (2) have some (almost) free money, then please consider to make some DONATION for existing filter improvement and new filter creation (algorithms re-search, Internet access, hosting, etc).

As I did not get any donation during these years, in January 2006 I taked not easy decision :(.

I will make announcement of new developed (for myself) beta versions of filters and wait some sum of donations. All donors will become the registered users who will immediately get current and next beta versions of the filters and my technical support (by e-mail or private messages). I will try (although it is hard for me :) to minimize the technical support at public forums.
Later I intend to release these filters to public download as free software (under GPL or other free license) - I understand, that not all people in poor countries can pay.
In some cases I can consider as a registered user who reported about important bug or make some other contribution (search for thanks in plugin's doc :).

Now I have got some donations from people from different contries. Many thanks to them all! You can see their names at my NEWS page (please give me note if you prefer be named not by first name).

Thank to your support, I make some upgrade (two 120 GB harddrives in place of broken old, Radeon 9550 videocard (for FFT3DGPU), 350 Wt power supply), and make a payment for Web-hosting of this new site, make payments to ISP.

Some new versions of filters are released.

I use well known and trusted share-it shareware web-service as a payment collector (with some fee to it). There is no PayPal in Russia unfortunately, but now (since March 2007) you may use PayPal (as well as credit card, wire transfer, etc) via Share-it service.

Provide valid e-mail and use it for technical support. I will send new filters or web-links via e-mail on demand.

Click to donate to Fizick online now.


If you prefer donate not to me personally, but to whole Avisynth project, I do not know how to do it.

I think, you may donate to whole SourceForge.net.

SourceForge.net provides hosting, completely free-of-charge, to more than 65,000 Open Source software development projects, including Avisynth.


Thanks for understanding and support!

Sincerely,

Fizick
