MP4Tools

MP4Tools is a mini-kit containing a couple of tools that might help you handle MP4 files. Merge any number of files or split a video into as many parts as you need, without worrying about re-encoding or quality loss. It may not look like a high-end package, but if you need to get the job done, these utilities will be up for it.

The majority of toolkits come with a base interface from where the user can swap between the programs themselves. That's not the case with MP4Tools, as both apps are installed separately, sporting their own shortcuts and visual characteristics, a positive feature for those who prefer to use the right tool, without having to go through additional menus.

The video joiner lets you add as many MP4 files as you want. Open the Options menu before joining the items. Inside you'll find a handful of features that can influence the final result. For example, you can decide what the temporary output directory should be, where the log file is saved. There is also the possibility to force re-encode both video and audio and pick the sample rate and bitrate.

When you're done with all that, just click on join, lay back, and wait for your newly created file.

The Mp4 Splitter keeps the same straightforward and easy-to-comprehend pace. Select the video you want to chop up, make it play, and spam the Add split point > button each time you wish to create a segment. The split points are going to be listed on a right-side list, along with the timestamps. The Options menu is shared between the tools, the only difference being that the splitter has fewer available settings.

MP4Tools has nothing fancy about it, being just a simple toolkit with a well-determined role — helping with the joining or splitting off MP4 files. We recommend it to less skillful users who need to accomplish these two MP4-related basic tasks.
