MKVtools
MKVtools is a macOS application that provides a graphical interface for editing, creating, and manipulating Matroska (MKV) video files. The app lets you combine multiple video files into a single MKV, split MKV files into separate clips, and edit container properties without re-encoding the underlying video streams. It supports source formats including MP4, OGM, and AVI, and is particularly useful for home media library management, video archiving, and preparing files for playback on compatible devices. The app is designed for users who need to reorganise video containers without the time cost of full transcoding.

1 suggestionWe could not find definitive confirmation that a native Apple Silicon build of MKVtools currently exists. The developer's download page (emmgunn.com) does not clearly specify architecture support, and the app appears to have last been updated around version 3.7.2 several years ago. If you rely on MKVtools under Rosetta, contact EmmGunn Software directly to ask about Apple Silicon support plans. As a more actively maintained alternative with confirmed native Apple Silicon support, consider MKVToolNix, which is free and open-source and offers comprehensive MKV editing capabilities including joining, splitting, muxing, and metadata editing through both a graphical interface and command-line tools. MKVToolNix is cross-platform, regularly updated, and widely used by the professional video community.
