L-SMASH? Last I knew, it was still attempting to be spec-compliant.

l-smash can create mp4 files?

Yes, it is actually a whole software suite. You may only know L-SMASH Works which only uses the MP4 (or more generally, its ISO Base Media File) demultiplexer out of it in an Avisynth/VapourSynth source filter.

Unfortunately it is quite hard to find a standalone binary of the L-SMASH multiplexer today. I found an old one from 2014 by 06_taro who used to be a member here too... (and that link is dead now)

Here the binaries from the latest commit of the vimeo fork.

Use xxx --help to see the available commands.

+1 for MP4Box, I've been using for years and it has been reliably muxing all my files in mp4.
It's nice, easy to use and cross platform.

Is there any reliable GUI for it?

MP4Box GUI 0.6.0.6, but it runs on an older version.
It will be totally fine for H.264 + AAC in MP4, though.

Here: https://www.videohelp.com/software/My-MP4Box-GUI

I prefer to do this, though:

mp4box.exe -add "raw_video.h264" -add "audio.aac" "final_output.mp4"

pause

MP4-Mux-Tool uses recent versions of MP4Box

I still use Yamb on occasion, but it can be a bit temperamental.

I used Yamb but got broken with latest builds.

My ver$ Yamb about box shows v2.0,
but Changelog shows,

Changes for the 2.1.0.0 beta 2 release (2009/06/29)

[Addons]
- TS/M2TS Extraction is now managed by EAC3to.
- QuickTime compatibility for AVC streams containing B-Frames.
- appleTV compliancy (not tested on such device though...).
- Windows Seven support.

[Improvements]
- Better Internal Files detection.
- Better AC3-in-MP4 files creation.
- Better MKVExtract detection.
- Few tunings in the NSIS script.

[Updates]
- MediaInfo library (0.7.17)
- MP4Box (0.4.6-dev_20090629)
- MKVExtract (2.9.5)
- EAC3to (3.16)

[Regression]
- Disable temporarily the ASS/SSA Converter. Need to find a better algorithm...

[Fixes]
- Fix splitting command lines errors.
- Fix Matroska tasks convertion.
- Fix mkvtoolnix libs missing from the installer.
- Several other fixes.

It also has in the folder,
MediaInfo.dll
libgpac.dll
ea3to
mkvextract
Mp4Box

Although probably older versions.

I think I usually do one thing at once, then re-run Yamb again for any further operations. [avoids most problems]

I could put the ver$ I have up if needed.

Make a GUI to use MP4Box is really easy, but add other tools to extract and check if streams (video, audio, subs) are mp4 compliants, and convert them if not, is more complicated and require maintain updated all the tools used.

Talking about MP4Box GUI's I recommend MeGUI with updated tools to extract and encode video and audio.

Tool          MeGUI  Yamb  MP4.tool  My MP4Box GUI
------------  -----  ----  --------  --------------
MP4Box        2023   2009    2013    2013 installer

Megui has auto updates so I'll take that, thx.

This seems also interesting https://www.bento4.com/

It would be great if someone could develop a new .mp4 muxer and GUI

New uploads (MSYS2, MinGW32 / MinGW64, GCC 13.2):

MP4Box 2.3-DEV-rev937-g69b32cebf-ab-suite

GPAC 2.3-DEV-rev937-g69b32cebf-ab-suite


Another interactive MP4/MKV remux GUI tool: BOX4 (not sure which multiplexers it uses internally)

[SeeMoreDigital]

Was there an MP4 muxer that allowed you to alter and amend certain parameters of an h.264 elementary stream prior to muxing?

What's different between of gpac and non-gpac?
