About MP4tools

MP4tools is the part of the VIDEOtoolbox Suite of Applications used for the creation and editing of MP4 videos. It was primarily designed for processing videos files for use in hardware capable of playing MP4 or M4V videos, such as the iPhone, iPad, Apple TV and PS3. 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.

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.
