I've run tons of benchmarks on both iOS devices (in this case, an iPad 3) and the Apple TV 3 to find out how much optimizing videos help in reducing startup times. Should you want to disable it, click the arrow pointing downwards (the opposite of the annotated “upwards” arrow in the next screenshot) and deselect the “ Optimize” checkbox (also annotated): If you use the queued mode (see THIS for more info), optimizing is enabled by default.

If it's deactivated, you either don't have the necessary free disk space on your target disk or have opened an MKV file and still haven't saved it as an MP4.

Not so with Subler, where it's another, separate step.īasically, if you open an MP4 (MOV / M4V) file (or open an MKV file and save it so that it's remuxed into MP4/M4V), you can optimize it via File > Optimize:

if you plan to play it back from an optical drive (or, to a lesser degree, mechanical hard disk).Īs has already been explained, other well-known remuxers like iFlicks and MP4Tools always optimize your videos. when you stream it in any way, including playing it back on an Apple TV In all other cases you will want to optimize that is, Local playback from local flash (solid-state) memory, let it be the storage of an iPad or iPhone or an SSD (non-mechanical) hard disk in your desktop computer, will be as efficient without optimization as with it.

With mandatory re-optimization, its processing speed would suffer a lot.Īs a rule of thumb, you won't want to use optimization if you never stream your videos over your home network or over the Internet (by, say, placing your video file on your homepage – not to be mistaken for YouTube / Vimeo-hosted videos!) and never burn/copy them to optical or mechanical hard disc/ks to be watched from there. Subler doesn't force you to always do this step in this way, makes work like adding new sound / subtitle tracks very-very fast. For example, optimizing my direct Iron Sky BD rip (16 Gbytes) took 5m:30s on my late 2009 2.8 GHz 17” MBP with ML and a 256GByte Vertex 4 SSD as both the source and target disk with Subler. To optimize it again, even high-end configurations need some time. If you add any new track, however small it may be, to a file, it becomes unoptimized (if it was optimized before). Just remember to change the “Action ” entry. By repeating the same step (+ and selecting the same input file), you can add the same audio file using different target audio formats: for example, both as AC3 and AAC. With an AC3 audio track, you basically have two choices: keep it as AC3 (“Passthru ”) or downmix it to AAC (with selectable target channel configuration). To add an (additional) audio (or any) track to an MP4 file with Subler, just open (File > Open ) the target file you'd like to add the new track to, click “+”, select the new track to be added and, in the “Action ” column, select what should be done to the info you're importing. Nevertheless, there are tons of other MKV editors or handlers capable of slicing an MKV file into slices of predefined length for example, the above-mentioned MKVTools. AC3 file, originally exported from the MKV by MKVTools in exactly the same way as exporting BD subtracks (see HERE, in the “UPDATE (some hours later) ” section.) For slicing the original Avatar MKV into 2:18-long parts, I used Mkvtoolnix in its Global > Splitting > Enable Splitting mode. For example, it was with Subler that I've added an AC3 and, then, in another step, a downmixed AAC audio track to the originally no-audio Birds test video ( original one) used below.Ī sidetrack: How you can add audio to MP4 (MOV / M4V) files, you may ask. With it, you can add (and remove) any track to / from the file. The reason for this is that Subler is much more than “only” a plain remuxer. The, currently, probably most recommended remuxer, Subler, however, forces you to manually optimize if you want. Neither does the current beta of another highly recommended remuxer, MP4Tools. Some apps like the above-mentioned iFlicks doesn't let you disable it. In this article, I elaborate on when you will want to use it. You may already have noticed the word “Optimize” in the most popular video remuxing tools: Subler, iFlicks etc.
