Trialware
MP4tools is technically trialware, though in reality, the unregistered version has nearly complete functionality with two minor exceptions:
- A “nag” window will appear every time you load a new file.
- You may only run 1 job at a time, so you can't take advantage of the queue and batch capabilities of MP4tools.
The above limitations will disappear if you register the software, which will cost you a total of $5.99, the price of a Big Mac dinner around here. Hopefully you will consider the usefulness of this software to be worth the price of a meal at McDonald's :-).
Note, that the output of the registered and unregistered versions of MP4tools will be identical, so you can thoroughly test MP4tools before you decide to support it’s development. Bugs still exist which may or may not get fixed and there are known issues and probably some unknown issues :-). You should probably consider this software as being sold "as is", so test thoroughly to see if you think you’re getting your moneys worth before registering.
If you decide to register, download the software using the link below, and then follow these registration instructions.
Current Version
