Subler for MAC
Free, open-source Mac app to mux and tag MP4 files: combine video, audio, subtitles and chapters, and fetch movie and TV metadata automatically.
Subler Overview
Subler is a Mac app for muxing and tagging MP4 files. It puts video, audio, chapters, subtitles and closed captions from MOV, MP4 and MKV files together into one MP4, and it also accepts raw H.264, AAC, AC3, Scenarist and VobSub files. It creates TX3G and WebVTT subtitle tracks that work on Apple devices such as iPhone, iPad and Apple TV, and in QuickTime.
Subler also edits iTunes-style metadata and looks up details for movies and TV shows on TheMovieDB, TVDB and the iTunes Store. It is made by Damiano Galassi; most of its files are under the GPL-2.0 license. Version 1.9.5 expands undo and redo, improves the artwork selector and TV show lookups, and adds an option for the 4k HD Video tag. It is a universal app for Apple Silicon and Intel and needs macOS 10.13 or later.
