MP4tools 3.6.5 MAC OS X
Anna Pybus
But then I found something like mp4tools (free) and bandicut (share) and did joining mp4 files without applying filters and without encoding. Joining (exporting) mp4 size 1-2GB is within seconds! (on sams960pro) for mp4tool and some longer for bandicut (claiming usage of quick sync). As description says mp4tools uses ffmpeg as Shotcut, so it may be possible to implement in Shotcut such possibility - export with no encoding (if only cuts were done).
mp4tools are a set of scripts to encode Audio and Video in Isomedia (aka MP4) format
mp4tools uses opensources programs as backends like mencoder, MP4Box, xvid, x264
and its quality is very good.
There are presets for most common devices like Sony PSP, Apple iPod, Nokia S60 phones,
so you haven't to go in the jungle of encoding options, firmware bugs, unsupported configurations
common in all embedded devices.
mp4tools hot functions are:
mp4tools quality is good since it uses x264 (the best h.264 encoder ever) or
xvid (the best mpeg4 encoder ever).
Here there are some video samples, so you can have a look before installing
It's the Ocean's 13 official trailer (resolutions are the ones before autocropping)
If you use mp4tools to encode songs to listen them in a Nokia phone
you will notice that you will not be able to tag your encoded files.
This because Nokia uses a non standard tag system.
Fortunately I made my own tool to tag them, so feel free to use it.
Download it: nokiatagger.c
and compile it in the usual way:
gcc nokiatagger.c -o nokiatagger
