I’ve been using this and its sibling (AVItools) since they were first released, and I used MKVtools (my favorite) before that for over a year, and I love ‘em all (though splitting MKVtools into 3 different apps seems a bit pointless and/or greedy to me). However, v. 3.1.2 has a serious problem that kills its usefulness: When I used it on 2 different mp4 files to remove a Japanese audio stream and a couple of subtitles from each movie and remux them into new mp4s that kept only the English audio stream, the audio disappeared. In case you’re wondering, 1) I know these apps inside and out, so it wasn’t operator error; 2) the problem occurred with 2 different movie files and on 2 different Macs, so it wasn’t a one-off bug; and 3) when I re-did both movies with MKVtools, they came out fine, further proving #1 and #2 above.

Once it’s fixed, MP4tools will again be a decent app. There are freeware apps (MKVtoolnix, remux, Subler, etc.) that together can nearly do everything MP4tools does. However, the convenience of having all those capabilities together in MKVtools was worth $20 to me. But now that this developer has split up all those capacities into 3 different apps, I’d rather just stick with all the other freeware.

Brilliant. The passthrough saves so much time.

Burnt my subtitles without fault.
And only $4.99.
What more could you ask.

Would like to make an mpg file for my DVD
but hey, you can't have everything.

As the name might imply, MP4tools is a graphical interface for a variety of "tools" useful for processing video files.

Features:
  • Convert from a variety of video file formats like MKV, MP4, OGM and AVI into MP4 videos.
  • Can convert most videos without having to re-encode the video track and/or the audio track, so processing takes minutes instead of hours and no quality is lost.
  • Simplified, intuitive user interface that takes the guess work out of processing MP4 videos.
  • Ability to convert various surround sound audio to 5.1 AC3 or 5.1 AAC.
  • Intuitively select desired video, audio and/or subtitle tracks to process, with the ability to verify the selections using video preview.
  • Use presets for one step encoding for playback on common hardware such as the iPhone and Apple TV.
  • Burn (i.e., hard code) subtitle tracks into the video, or mux (soft subtitles) from internal tracks or from external subtitle files commonly found on the internet.
  • Control the font, size and positioning of the embedded subtitles.
  • Split MP4 videos into segments of a specified file size or by start/end time.
  • Adjust the Pixel Aspect Ratio of MP4 videos.
  • Join MP4 videos.
  • Extract the selected tracks from MP4 videos as individual video and/or audio files.
  • Add jobs to a queue either individually or in batches via drag and drop so you can process multiple files overnight (registered copies only).
  • Apply one setting to a group of files for easy batch creations (registered copies only).
