MKVToolNix 103.0 for Mac
Mac UtilitiesMKVToolNix is a set of tools for working with Matroska files, the MKV container used for a huge share of video stored today. It lets you combine video, audio and subtitle tracks into one file, pull tracks back out, split files into parts and inspect what sits inside a container, all without encoding the video again. The project by Moritz Bunkus is free and open source, and it has been in steady development for many years.

FAQ
Is MKVToolNix free? Yes. The tools are free and open source under the GPL, for personal and professional use alike.
Does MKVToolNix convert video formats? It mainly muxes and edits containers. It can place tracks into MKV or WebM files, but it is not a video encoder, so picture and sound stay untouched.
Can I add subtitles to a video? Yes. Add the video and the subtitle file in the GUI, set the language and start multiplexing to get one MKV with the subtitles inside.
